    I found out that this website is not the original ordering site for birth certificates. They charge a bigger fee than going to your state and requesting any kind of certificate. I have been waiting since Feb 24th for my BC. They keep telling me that I can get a refund each week and that it will come next week each time I call. Now they say they cannot refund me back my money because my state health department received application. I asked them to pull up recorded calls that stated I could get a refund, it's now May and no birth certificate they could have even given me half back so I could order thru my state which is $12 for VA and they charged me that plus a $29.00 delivery fee. ******************** said that is an overcharge. I will not be ordering thru them anymore. They can keep their fees I could have had my BC by now going thru my state of **. Use VitalChek instead for any state NOT Vitalrecords online.

    Hello, ******

    Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We sincerely regret the frustration and inconvenience this situation has caused you.


    We understand how important it is to receive your birth certificate in a timely manner, and we apologize if there was any misunderstanding regarding our services and refund policy. Vital Records Online is a third-party preparation and assistance service, not a government agency, and we clearly state this on our website. Our service includes document preparation, pre-filled forms, personalized instructions, and support throughout the process to help simplify and expedite your application.


    Regarding your refund request, we want to clarify that once your completed application is submitted to the ************************** for processing, we are no longer able to cancel the request or issue a refund, as the government agency is now in possession of the order. We understand this is disappointing, especially after being told that a refund might be possible during prior conversations. We are currently reviewing the communication youve had with our support team to ensure that accurate and consistent information is being provided to all customers.

    While the fees through the state may be lower, many customers choose our service for the added guidance, convenience, and support we offer. However, we recognize that our service is not the right fit for everyone, and we are genuinely sorry to hear that you were not satisfied with the value received.


    We appreciate your feedback and will use it to continue improving our processes and transparency. If you have any further questions or concerns, please dont hesitate to reach out to us directly at ************************************************************.

    I ordered this birth certificate 3 days ago and just got this review and other paperwork to fill out. It all should have been done at one time.
