    This company is a scam. They take your money and spend weeks "working" on your application and then send numerous computer generated emails stating your order has shipped and should arrive in so many days. The thing is each email send extends the time the order should "arrive" and then it never arrives. They won't respond to requests for reimbursement since they didn't fulfill their order. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY....FRAUD!!!!

    Hello, *********** 

    We appreciate you bringing your concerns to our attention, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced. We understand the frustration that can arise from delays and communication issues, and we want to assure you that we take your feedback seriously.


    After carefully reviewing your case, we found that there was a delay in the processing of your application due to the need for signature validation. We apologize for any oversight in communicating this to you promptly. We have since resubmitted your application, and it is currently in the processing stage with the ****** Health Department.


    It's important to note that the issuance of certificates is a multi-step process that involves coordination with external entities, and we want to be transparent about the factors that contribute to the overall timeline. While we strive to expedite the process as much as possible, the processing time can vary by state, and some states may take longer than others.


    As of now, your application is still being processed by the health department office, and we are actively monitoring its status. We understand the frustration caused by the extended time frame, and we share your eagerness to see your order fulfilled. Rest assured, we are committed to resolving this matter and ensuring a positive outcome for you.

    Never got refunded my $58 nor haven't received a response to my refund request

    Vital Records Online

    Date: 01/09/2024

    I do not see an email request or phone log of a call requesting a refund. I see you have not completed the notary that is required by the state in order to process your application. 
    A full refund has been processed.

    Hello, *******


    We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you experienced with the refund process, and we appreciate your patience. We want to inform you that your refund request was processed automatically as soon as it was initiated. The return of funds, however, depends on internal banking processes, and some institutions may take longer than others to complete the transaction.


    Upon reviewing our records, we can confirm that your refund for the total amount of $58 was issued yesterday, January 9, ****. While we understand the importance of a swift resolution, we recognize that delays in the banking system can be frustrating. We genuinely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.


    If you encounter any further issues or if you have additional concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to our customer support team. We appreciate your understanding and thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.

    Understandably ridiculous, "jumping through the hoops", to get the document, but that's what makes it amazing! Y'all make it harder, for anyone to get away with Identity Theft. KUDOS!!!
