I was looking to replace my Birth Certificate. I filled out a form online for a company calling itself Your VitalRecords. They charged me $47 but never sent me a copy of my birth certificate or any further instructions about getting my birth certificate. I have found that others have experienced the same results when trying to get a replacement certificate online.

The company was the first to appear in a google search for “birth certificates Oregon”. I needed a certified copy of both of my kid’s birth certificates for my health insurance.

Entered the personal information that the company requested 12/23/2019, paid $94 ($47 x 2), and never received any follow up. Looked up the company to see if/what needed to be done to get the orders processed and found that there was no phone number, just a contact request via email. After receiving a reply from “David” that seemed odd, I requested a refund. I received a response to the refund request with two PDF files that are supposedly just the information I provided, regurgitated for me to send off to “your vital records department”.

I looked up the company to see if anyone else had had problems with them and they appear to be a fraudulent company and now I fear that my kids and my identities are at risk!

I went online to order a birth certificate (I'm in MA but my kids were born in DC). Vital Records comes up first. I clicked and went through several screens to order the birth certificate. I then paid $47 and got a "birth certificate order confirmation." The next day I get an email telling me to send a Vital Check form to DC which they filled: I now have to pay another $29 and mail this myself.

Vital Records makes you think you're going to get the birth certificate directly, not that they'll "help" you fill out a very simple form for an exorbitant fee.

Promises quick turn around to receive birth certificate. Only collects all your information and fills out the form. Then provides you with additional instructions to mail the form they filled out for you. After collecting your money then states additional fees need to be paid with the actual mailing of the form.

Company is very vague about the service it is truly providing essentially they lead you to believe that they are going to do the work to get you a copy of your birth certificate at a substantial cost but when in deed you are doing the work for them.

No value added. I entered my data into VRC’s version of a State form, paid the $47 fee, and VRC emailed an hour later the official pdf form with my data transferred to it with the official instructions on how to mail it in and pay the fee to the State agency. One doesn’t need to pay $47 for that. Indeed, I’ll be working with the official site anyway doing anyway because VRC’s software made errors on the official form which I cannot otherwise correct except with pen and ink.

Don’t get suckered like I did and don't confuse this outfit with those who actually handle your document request with the State agency soup-to-nuts. VRC's "service" is the digital equivalent of providing you a pen. Better yet, go to the State agency’s website to conduct your business online. Most of their sites are actually pretty good.

Just like the other complaints listed for this fraudulent company. I also paid the $47 fee to order a birth certificate for my son. The website is so similar to the actual state site that I was easily fooled. It doesn't help that the actual legitimate website does not have a .gov listed in the web address.

I called the county health department trying to find out how to get a copy of my child's birth certificate and the woman who answered the phone encouraged me to use the website vitalrecordsonline.com. So I signed up to use their service to get a copy of my child's birth certificate and they made me pay a fee of $69 online before they would send me the packet of information that I had to fill out and then mail back with an additional check for $10. I had my husband stop into the health department with the packet of information and they told him that was a scam. I called the customer service number provided by Vital Records and I asked the man who answered about this being a scam and he said he would refund me my money because I never used the packet they sent but he didn't know about this being a scam.

I placed an order for a birth certificate. I payed 40.00. The website said 47.00 with a 15% discount. No contact information. No address. We were certainly scammed. Please stop them.

https://www.yourvitalrecords.com imposes itself as a legit website for getting birth certificates for WA state which can be obtained from online. But instead, it charges high fees and just sends a mail on with the information provided and asks me to mail the county. The actual government-contracted entity is https://www.vitalchek.com/. They impose as them and charge a high fees in addition to collecting personal information.

I thought I was ordering a copy of a birth certificate and paid $47...then the site gave me a message that an “official application” would be emailed to me..an official application will cost me $25 through New Jersey vital records office. Have not received email..no contact numbers on site...lots of reports of scams for this website...I can’t cancel the charge either...so they have taken $47 and haven’t given me anything

This website offers to "help" you get your birth certificate from your state. All you really get is an application for a birth certificate that you must download and send to your state's bureau of vital records, along with the state fee. This is something you can easily do, yourself, but they don't tell you that! They charge $45 for this "service". As soon as they get your credit card, they charge it and tell you what you have to do next, which is wait, while they look over the information you give them, download their completed application and then physically send said application to your state, along with the state fees.

These people count on busy customers who want to hire someone to get a copy of their birth certificate. Instead, you will be paying a small fortune for advice you don't need!

This website allows you to input your personal information to order a birth certificate, the charge comes through as outside of the United States.

To put in the request they have some of your personal information and charge you $47 for a pre-filled form based on the info you give them. Then you have to turn around and pay the fees and shipping and mail it yourself - IT IS A SCAM.

I thought I was purchasing a copy of my birth certificate from this site. Instead, I paid $47.00 for a partially-completed birth certificate application form, which I had to complete and mail to the state of NY along with an additional $30.00.

Since then, I've read the many complaints against this company online and through BBB. As a senior citizen, I was anxious to get my birth certificate, and I fell for the "service" this company provided. I have requested my money back, and the "company" has resolved complaints just like mine. But they refused to refund my money.

I could have received a copy of the birth certificate application form for free from the state of NY. Instead, I thought this "company" was providing me a service which would make getting my birth certificate easier. Instead, I'm out $47.00. This is unacceptable.

BEWARE of Internet offers! Unfortunately, I've learned a lesson here -- like many others, I believe in that "companies" will be honest and fair in their business dealings. Not so with this "company."

I was trying to obtain my birth certificate via online. The website VitalRecords-online.com came up when I entered Vitalcheck (Vitalchek) in search which was given to me at the local DPS. I filled out my information and sent my payment of $47 dollars expecting a confirmation page and a USPS tracking number for my Birth Certificate. Instead I find my information, automated on an application and to send $50 and my Application to the California payable to the state. I saw this and red flags went up. what exactly did i pay for? I have emailed them and received no reply.

I consider myself fairly savvy when it comes to internet scams, but this one got me. I believed I was ordering a birth certificate for my daughter. I thought I went through my state's website. But I was in a rush and gave all of my daughters personal information to a scammer. I only found out after I called the state records office to find out where the certificates were. I was informed there is only ONE legitimate site you can order from, and it was not the one I used.

Purchased birth certificate online. Discovered the website was fake. They put a "dash" in the website name to make you think you on the legitimate site.

When looking to replace a lost birth certificate, I searched for the Ohio Department of Vital Statistics. A Vital Records Online link topped the list of search results. It collected all of the relevant information on birth certificate , parent information, and current identification information. It charged more than twice what a replacement costs, so they also have my card information. Then, they sent me a copy of my state's application form, which is what I thought I filled out before. I would still have to print that and pay the fee required to get the certified copy that I thought I was already buying. Summary: they collected birth information, parents' information, which is often used for security questions, bank card information, and driver's license information all in about 10 minutes by impersonating the state Vital Statistics website.

This website claims to be able to give you a copy of your birth certificate for $47 after you give them all your information you find out that it is an international charge!
