1 starThis company is trash. I ordered a copy of my birth certificate over a year ago, and it should have been here in March. Have been getting a run around from them. Wasted $104. They say they can't refund. Such a s*** business. Don't waste your money or time with these crooks.Vital Records Online

1 starI sent for a birth certificate for an upcoming flight I ordered it in April and as of September I still haven't received it. I got a second birth certificate at half the price from VitalChek and got it in 3 days .I put in a complaint with my credit card company against Vital Records Online and am awaiting a response to get my money back. DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY. The people barely responded and I needed a California birth certificate and they sent to ************ for it..BAD BAD BADVital Records Online

1 starDo not use this company. They 100% are a scam. I paid for phone services and was not able to speak with anyone. I also asked for an itemized receipt for all the services I paid for and they could not provide me with one. After multiple emails back and forth, I was not very happy and expressed that. I believe that someone leaked my cell number to some marketing scam websites. I have been getting calls and text messages non-stop for months now, since the day of our last communication. Obviously I cannot prove this but the timing of it all was strange. They have all your personal data! Beware!!Vital Records Online

Hello, ******.
Were sorry to hear about your concerns and the frustration youve experienced. Please allow us to clarify a few important points.
Your application was successfully submitted to the ***************** and is currently being processed. Once submitted, the processing timeline and issuance of the certificate are fully under the control of the *****************, not Vital Records Online.
Regarding your concern about spam calls, we want to assure you that Vital Records Online does not share, sell, or leak any customer information to third parties. Protecting our customers personal data is of the utmost importance to us, and we have strict security measures in place to safeguard it. Any increase in marketing calls is unrelated to our services.
We also apologize if our phone support options or communication did not meet your expectations. Our goal is always to provide clear, transparent assistance, and we will review your feedback to continue improving.

Hello, *****.
Were sorry to hear about your frustration. Wed like to clarify that our service fee covers the preparation of your application package, including the pre-filled forms, personalized instructions, and all required documents ready to be mailed to the appropriate ******************
Your order has been sent and is currently being processed directly by the ****************** Please note that once an application has been submitted, the processing times and issuance of the certificate are entirely managed by the state office, and not by us.
The additional expedite and shipping options you selected apply to how your completed certificate will be mailed back to you once the ***************** issues it. We understand the wait can be inconvenient, but rest assured your application is in process and will be delivered according to the *****************s timeline.
If you have any questions about your order status, please reach out to our customer support team with your order number so we can provide you with the most up-to-date information.Regards,

Hello, ******.
We are sorry to hear about your frustration and we truly understand how important it is to receive your vital record in a timely manner. Please allow us to clarify the process.
When an order is placed through Vital Records Online, our role is to prepare your application package with the information provided, along with the necessary documents and step-by-step mailing instructions. Once complete, the application is submitted to the appropriate ***************** (HD), which is the only authority that issues and mails certificates.
In your case, your application has already been submitted to the ***************** and is currently within the official processing timeframe communicated by that office. Unfortunately, these government processing times can vary depending on their workload and we have no control over how quickly they complete the request.Regarding your refund request, please note that refunds are available only before the application package has been prepared and mailed. Since your order has already been processed and forwarded to the *****************, a refund is no longer possible.
We understand that the waiting period can feel lengthy and inconvenient, but rest assured your application is in progress with the issuing office. If you wish, we can provide you with the direct contact information for the ***************** so you may confirm the processing time with them.
Your satisfaction is very important to us, and we remain available to assist you with any additional updates or guidance regarding your application.Review fromNathan D

Hello, ******.
We are sorry to hear about your impression and would like to clarify any concerns. Please be assured that our service is not a scam. Vital Records Online is a private, independent assistance service that helps applicants complete their vital record requests accurately and efficiently.
When an order is placed through our website, customers receive a package that includes:
The official application form, already pre-filled with the information provided.
Step-by-step instructions tailored to the requirements of the issuing Health Department.
A set of necessary documents and supporting materials, prepared for mailing directly to the appropriate government office.
It is important to note that we do not issue vital records ourselves. All certificates are processed and mailed exclusively by the government office responsible for the record. Our role is to assist applicants in navigating the application process and ensuring their request is complete and ready to be submitted.
If you have placed an order and are experiencing any difficulties or uncertainties, we strongly encourage you to contact our support team with your order details.

1 starThey asked for more documents to prove I lived at the address it was mailing to because my ID had a old address that it wasn't mailing to. So I sent a bank statement from **** and my internet bill. They stated that **** was a credit card company and not a banking institution. I tried to explain to them many times but didn't go no where. Asked for a supervisor, took 10 mins of me keep asking for a supervisor to get one which again, said Navy ******************** isn't a banking institution. Just asked for a refund and will use the other online company that had better serviceVital Records Online

Hello, *****.
Were sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction and appreciate the opportunity to clarify. Your order was fully refunded at your request, and no charges remain. Our team follows the strict documentation requirements established by the ***************** to ensure applications are not rejected once submitted. Unfortunately, the documents provided did not meet their criteria, which is why we could not move forward.
We understand this caused frustration, but please know that our intention is never to delay or inconvenience our customers, but rather to protect them from a rejected application. Your feedback is valuable, and we will continue working to provide clearer guidance to avoid confusion in the future.Regards,
