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. Con... See more

The online application was easy and I got my daughters' Birth Certificates within a COUPLE of DAYS!

Did not fulfill order and did not refund due to them losing my information in their system. I am a disabled veteran on a fixed income. I’m pressing legal action
Outstanding service
Absolutely fantastic service; quick and efficient. I was given a personal contact, Janet, who dealt with my order and with whom I exchanged a few emails and she was extremely efficient helpful polite and friendly.
I was thrilled to be able to deal with an actual real person who was lovely. I definitely recommend their services.
Accurate records
Accurate records.
However processing was rather slow for NC. A bit pricy.
Very professional and great service
Been waiting months for them to process…
Been waiting months for them to process and send me my document now all of a sudden they need me to send them a certified permission slip to do so.. Scam vibes all over it. I feel at this point like they’re trying to stealing my identity. Awaiting my cancellation request To be Confirmed.
This company is bad news
I ordered 3 documents in March of 2023. It is now December. Online, my account stated that the order had been completed. After bringing up the matter with National Records, I find that nothing had been done about 2 documents, and the document that they did address produced no marriage certificate. I ended up pursuing the matter on my own and getting my own marriage certificate.I regret using this company.
Excellent communication
Excellent communication throughout. I ordered a birth certificate from overseas as I couldn't get to the required vital records department. The only issue I had was that before ordering the birth certificate, I looked at the expected time frame for obtaining the birth certificate and it said 3-15 days plus postage, but it took about 35 days plus postage. This was however out of their control. Customer service was excellent, fast and polite.
Documents received satisfactorily where needed them but...
After I submitted a request, I found out I needed to verify that I lived at the address I needed it shipped to, which I could not do because I didn't live at that location. I thought it was entirely fair not to pose a security risk so I cancelled my order, but then my cancellation request was denied and my documents were shipped to the address I needed them at anyway. I'm personally satisfied but I'll give it a 3 star rating because the inconsistency has me a bit concerned.
Wonderful service
Wonderful service. Janet was so helpful and kept me updated throughout the whole process. I needed my document sent to the UK and it was with me in less than two week.

The website was easy to order exactly what I needed. It was received in a timely manner even though I preferred it arriving in 2 days maybe, but The site clearly states they have no control over the time line of the required document being produced/printed. But over all the delivery was great as it was received in less than a week. So just be aware there’s no expedited button if needed in a day or two.
