“No mistakes on my birth certificate”

Latigue L.
6/23/19

Thinking about how to fill out official documents is one of the things that I don't like. Giving a chance to this company for it was a great decision. They double checked my online application to be sure that everything was precise and with no mistakes. Service completely recommended

“Never received my birth certificate”

Nancy R.
7/1/23

I paid $68 in December 2022. Said I would receive by May 5,2023. Checked on it periodically- always in progress. In April the record/order number stated "no longer valid@. Emailed numerous times. No response. Attempted to call many times. Impossible to get through. This is a scam.

It's nothing but an site that you can use to process an application for $48, which you can get for FREE. Scam, Scam, Gov't Scam. I tried to be proactive because of COVID-19, but seems everyone is taking advantage of hardworking people.

For $47, I received a fillable PDF with my information I gave to Vital Records Certificates. I thought I was paying the application fee. But when I received the fillable PDF form back, Vital Records Certificates told me to send in the form with the additional application fee for the state health department, which is $48. Extremely frustrating.

Do NOT use Vital Certificate's for anything, I tried to use them for a birth certificate but was unable to complete the form yet they still took money from my account but charged me TWICE! They should be arrested for fraud, DO NOT USE THEM

Tip for consumers:
Might as well take a lighter to your money and burn it

ON YESTERDAY I THOUGHT I WAS ORDERING MY BIRTH CERTIFICATE ONLINE WITH THIS COMPANY.
I PAID $47.00 FOR A NOTHING FORM. I COULD HAVE DOWNLOADED THE FORM THEY SENT ME ON MY OWN FOR FREE. THEY SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES FOR SCAMMING PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR MONEY. THERE IS NO PHONE NUMBER LISTED TO CALL TO STOP PAYMENT. NOW I HAVE TO PAY $46.00, FILL OUT THE FORM, MAIL IT TO VITAL STATISTICS IN MY STATE. DO NOT USE THIS SITE FOR ANYTHING THEY ARE FULL OF B___S___.

It was fine. I got it done. Not exactly sure what I'm confirming that I received. I got an email confirmation of my order for a birth certificate but have not received application yet.

I wanted to have a copy of my birth certificate at home, just in case I needed it for any bureaucracy. About this service, I received my copy later than expected. But after all, it wasn't a big deal.

The following message is what I wrote to them after realizing that I was scammed. I wouldn't mind paying the $40 if they were going to handle getting the certificate and mailing to me. However, as you will see, they emailed a form with instructions for completion to be mailed and include the $15 actual certificate fee!
BEWARE, BEWARE, BEWARE... THIS IS AN UNSCRUPULOUS BUSINESS. DO NOT TRUST.

"Yes! I am going to dispute this $40 charge with both PayPal and my Chase Visa credit card because the $40 fee is simply to send me an email with Birth Certificate form and instructions on filling out and mailing myself. I'm also going to report you to BBB and leave you negative reviews. I agree your service deserves a fee BUT not $40 for sending me a form that I am to fill out and mail it in myself! Your competitor Vital Check costs a total of $23.30 which includes an $8.30 fee and they finish the process and the certificate mailed directly to me. You are shameless."

Tip for consumers:
DO NOT use this service for ANYTHING ... you'll be overcharged and underserved!

Do not fill out any information or pay any money. You won't get your birth certificate or money back, but they will have all your personal information.

They do nothing but fill out a form for you. Do not fall for this scam of a service. Print out a blank form and fill it out yourself; this services is not worth the $47 they are charging.

SCAM! Just steal your money for nothing! The application form is available online for free. Don't pay $47 to this SCAM site to email you just the application form!

Vital Records is a despicable and very deceitful company. Unfortunately I was naive into thinking that this type of thing exist, but it does. I honestly thought I was in the Los Angeles County supported website Vital Check, which is similar in name to the fraudulent company Vital Records. By the time I realize it was a scam I had already paid $47 to get the process started. So after back and fourth correspondence they finally sent the application form and instructed me to have the document notarized ($15), include a payment of $28 for the birth certificate copy, and then mail it. After the realization I paid $47 for a PDF file I could of downloaded and filled out myself for free, I proceeded to cut my losses and not continue with the process. I went with LA County supported website which was far less and the same amount if I were to continue with the notarization and copy payment. The Vital Report website is a scam, they do nothing but provide the application form which can be found online for free.

The customer service team was kind and empathetic. I completed the application form from my comfortable couch at home.

This is NOT the official website for getting a birth certificate!
The reviews with more than one star are written by it's employees!
IF YOU GAVE THEM MONEY, DO NOT LEAVE A REVIEW HERE!
GO STRAIGHT TO THE ONLINE FBI REPORTING SITE!
THESE PEOPLE NEED TO BE SHUT DOWN!
They collect ALL of your legal information, charge you $47, forward you the same form you would fill out for FREE online, then they have YOU mail it with the SAME cost the REAL vital records site would have charged you for your birth certificate anyway:
$12.50 for one copy, $16.50 for two copies, etc (add $4 for each copy)
NOT the $47+ the $12.50 this site will charge.
(Prices may vary state to state but NOT $47 just for a copy of the initial form)

You have just given ALL of your legal information to people who can use it later - weeks, months, years? - to steal your identity or access any or all of your accounts anywhere!

THEY can now order a copy of your birth certificate because you gave them EVERYTHING they need to do that online themselves! They are not real government employees!

THE REAL ONLINE ADDRESS IS:
(state you were born in). GOV example ALABAMA.GOV

Then you find a list on there of all services and you will find a link to vital records where you can order a copy of your birth or marriage certificate.
