    Not sure if they deserve to have 1 star, they should be zero. T H E W O R S T C O M P A N Y to deal with! D O NOT order anything from vital records they are really SCAM . I ordered a birth certificate on *********, today is 7/14 and still showing processed and that is the reason they are not give me a full refund. After calling every 2 weeks I got exhausted waiting and I ended up traveling in person to ********** and getting my own BC it only cost me $20 and not $52 what VRO charged me. During the month of May and June they told me that they were going to give me the refund if I did not get it on June, as a right now they are refusing to give me my money back.

    Hello, *****. 

    Were very sorry to hear about your experience, and we truly regret the frustration, delays, and confusion you encountered while trying to obtain your birth certificate.


    After reviewing your case, we confirmed that your application was validated and officially submitted to the ****************************. Our records also show that this was not your first time obtaining a copy of your birth certificate under your current last name. Because the application was processed and delivered to the state office for issuanceas requested during your orderwe are unfortunately unable to issue a refund, as per our service policy.


    We understand you ultimately chose to travel in person to obtain your certificate. While were glad you were able to secure the document directly, we recognize that the wait and effort you experienced through our service were far from ideal. Our team did inform you during the months of May and June of the expected government processing timeframes and offered to assist further, including providing the health departments direct contact information, which was declined.


    We appreciate your feedback and take it seriously. While we are not affiliated with any government agency, our goal is to assist in the preparation and facilitation of vital record requests. Your experience has been escalated internally so we can improve transparency and support moving forward.


    If you have any remaining questions or need further assistance, were here to help at ************************************************************.


    Sincerely,
    Vital Records Online Customer Support Team

    Hello, Meagan.

    Thank you for reaching out, and were truly sorry for the confusion and frustration you've experienced.


    We want to clarify that Vital Records Online (VRO LLC) is a private, third-party document preparation service that assists individuals in completing their vital record applications. While we are not affiliated with any government agency, we provide pre-filled forms, detailed submission instructions, and guided support to help simplify the process.


    Its possible that the ***************** representative you spoke with may have been referring specifically to VitalChek, which is another service some states use for online ordering. However, many states also accept mail-in applicationswhich is the method we help prepare. If you submitted your application by mail using the documents we provided, it should still be processed by the *****************, as long as all required documentation and fees were included.


    Wed be happy to look into your specific order and provide you with a detailed update. Please email us at ********************************** with your full name and the email used during checkout so we can assist you further.


    Sincerely,

    Can we leave “negative” stars? T H E W O R S T C O M P A N Y to deal with! D O NOT order any of your vital records from them! DO NOT believe them when they say they will be there to “support” you. Their “support”? Copied and pasted words in an email from from standardized list of quipped responses. IF they manage to respond to you at all. HOWEVER, DO NOT HOLD YOUR BREATH waiting for said e-mail. Then to find out, “we just process the application”… just wait until you get YET ANOTHER BILL IN THE MAIL from the agency that is actually going to send you your document! You’ll have to submit all the same info AGAIN, AND PAY OUT SOME MORE MONEY!!! And VRO LLC did what for us?!? N O T H I N G ! Please, do not use this disreputable company .

    Hello, ****. 

    Thank you for sharing your experience, and were truly sorry to hear about your frustration. We understand how important it is to receive support and clarity when handling vital record requests, and we regret that your expectations were not met.


    After carefully reviewing our system, we were unable to locate any active or past order under your name, email, or the information provided in this review. Its possible that your order may have been placed with another service, as there are several companies with similar names operating in this space.


    To clarify, Vital Records Online (VRO LLC) is a private, third-party service that assists customers in preparing their applications with pre-filled forms, detailed instructions, and support throughout the submission process. The actual issuance of certificates and collection of state fees is handled directly by each states ****************** and we are not authorized to issue vital records ourselves.


    Wed be more than happy to help you if you believe your order was indeed placed through our platform. Please contact us at ********************************** with your full name and the email address used at checkout, and we will promptly investigate the matter.


    Sincerely,

    Hello, ******. 

    Thank you for your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear about the delay and the frustration it has caused. We understand how important it is to receive your birth certificate in a timely manner, and we regret that your experience has not met your expectations.


    Please note that Vital Records Online is a private assistance service, not the issuing agency. Our role is to help prepare your application, provide detailed submission instructions, and support you through the process. The actual issuance of the certificate is handled solely by the ************************, and processing times can vary depending on the state, season, and the accuracy of the application submitted.


    If there were any errors, missing information, or additional documentation required, that could have caused delaysespecially if the state office placed your application on hold.


    Wed be happy to look into your case further and provide an update. However, we were unable to locate your order based on the information provided in this review. Please reach out to us at ********************************** with your full name and order number so we can assist you directly and help resolve this as quickly as possible.


    Sincerely,

    Very upset with the lack of communication with this company even after paying for expedited fee to get birth certificate and still hasnt been processed or send out to health department. They dont care you either to inform you that there a problem with your application, even after you inquire by phone or email, is like they look at the application the time you call to inform you their an issue with the application. The staff very rude and no understanding of timely delivery. Even had employee hang up on me because she didnt like what I was telling her about her job performance. Will never used them again.

    Hello, *****. 

    We truly regret to hear about your frustrating experience, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and the lack of clarity that youve encountered during your order process.


    Please know that we take all feedback seriously, and your concerns about communication and customer service are being reviewed internally. What you described does not reflect the level of professionalism and support we strive to provide.


    Regarding your expedited service: the Expedited Processing option prioritizes the internal preparation and processing of your application, ensuring it is completed and ready for submission as quickly as possible. However, its important to note that this service does not bypass the requirements established by the *****************. If there is any issue with the documentationsuch as an expired ID or missing secondary proofyour application is placed on hold until corrected documents are received and validated. Unfortunately, this delay pauses any further processing, including submission to the state agency.


    In your case, our records show that your application was placed on hold due to an expired ID, and weve requested additional documents, including a valid utility bill and a recent bank statement, to satisfy state identity verification requirements. While we understand your frustration, please know these steps are necessary to comply with state regulations.


    Were truly sorry if our communication regarding this issue was not timely or helpful. It is never acceptable for a representative to be rude or dismissive, and we are actively reviewing this call to take the appropriate action and ensure accountability.


    If you still need assistance with your application, we encourage you to contact us at [Support Email or Phone Number] so we can make sure everything is moving forward properly and youre fully informed at each step.


    We value your trust and appreciate the opportunity to make this right.


    Sincerely,
