Speedy service recieving Birth certificates.

  • - Birth certificates from Chatham County arrived within a few days.
  • - Staff followed up with corrected information.
VitalChek - Speedy service recieving Birth certificates.

When I ordered from Chatham County in Savannah, Georgia, I followed procedure and my son's birth certificates were both here within a few days. Not the 30 days, literally 3 days.

My first son, who was adopted, they could not find his first, but it was in his original name, in which I was confused because I thought since we changed it at 2 years old, it was legal; that was that.

I was upset that it was still down there as his original name, where he wants his name to be as it is today. Always follow through, give correct information, and follow up.

User's recommendation: Follow up follow though

VitalChek - Refund
Updated by user Jul 21, 2026

Terrible, My sister and I keep getting the run around about the payment. This is ridiculous, I need a phone call back because this has been going on for over a month now.

I have called my sister has called and we keep getting the run around from you. If this isn't resolved, i'm going to call the better business bure, and the state of california and let them know that obviously you're trying to give us the run around instead of refunding my money

Yes I would recommend my order came as it was supposed to on time and hand delivery. This is my second time ordering. Thank you, VitalCheck

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

The first time ordering, the only setback I had was that my payment had declined. That was my fault!

VitalCheck couldn't help with the issue of my payment not going through; they did their part in trying to complete my order, so there was no other choice but to decline my payment. If I need to do it again, I would.

Pros:
  • Good job

User's recommendation: Yes i recommend everything went perfectly

Expensive

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

It arrived in a timely manner, and it was a whole lot easier than having to go to Louisiana to get it, but it was expensive. Honestly, I would recommend it to others, though.

The only thing is UPS left it laying on a porch instead of leaving it somewhere safer. But as far as the actual vital check, wonderful.

Pros:
  • Quick and secure
Cons:
  • It cost more than i would like to pay

I ordered my marriage license from Albany, KY, on August 13. I was told it would be here by 9/3, but it still hasn't shown up, and it's 9/8. I can't get a real ID without it, so I'm kind of worried!

  • - This was easy and saved a trip to IL.
  • - Found this option on county clerk site.
  • - Delivered in 3 days with 2 copies for $42; others quoted $125.

I can't believe how easy this was. I thought I would have to go to IL to get my cert but I saw this was an option on the county clerk website.

Super easy, delivered w/in 3 days w/ 2 copies & only $42! Worth it! Don't be fooled by other companies.

When I initially started to try to order an company came up charging $125. Go to your county clerk website first.
