I am ordering my daughter's birth…

I am ordering my daughter's birth certificate. It was a quick process. Two problems: She was born abroad, which was not an option that I saw (I marked "OTHER" for the city, but I'm not sure the form will be accepted).
After I submitted the application, I quickly received notice that it had been received--thank you! But then I had to upload my driver's license, front and back. (??) I did so, but am not sure why that level of security was needed. I hope to receive the birth certificate soon! Thank you.

If only

So I had the pleasure of dealing with 3 people, Rachel, Janet and Abigail over a period of about a month and I have to say unlike our own government (uk) departments this was an absolute pleasure. Constant communication and updates from all the team meant I was always aware of the next stages. I cannot speak highly enough of these folks and this department. Top notch.

Wonderful team!

Wonderful team!! Great customer service. Every time I had a question or needed help they were very responsive and helpful. I did get many emails that were sent by default of the system but other than that I really enjoyed the experience. I got 4 records done with them and the time was quick and the cost was reasonable. Would highly recommend.

They wanted way too many documents to order a birth certificate and the cost was 4 times the amount of any other place I looked up. They refused to refund my money when I told them I could get a birth certificate for $40 through another site. It seemed like a scam and it was definitely a rip off.

I recently used National Records to order a birth certificate on behalf of my daughter..

I recently used National Records to assist with ordering my newborn baby's birth certificate, and I couldn't be more pleased with the service! From start to finish, the process was smooth and stress-free.

The team was incredibly helpful, guiding me through the necessary steps and providing clear instructions on documentation needed. They were responsive to my questions and made sure I understood everything.

What impressed me most was the speed of delivery. I received the birth certificate much sooner than I expected, which was a huge relief!

Overall, I highly recommend National Records for anyone looking to navigate the often confusing process of obtaining important documents. Their professionalism and efficiency made this experience a joy during what can be a hectic time for new parents.

Thank you, National Records, for your excellent service!
