I didn't like the added $17.50 fee but I got my birth certificate in 2 days (Jersey)! I didn’t have much of a problem with them.

No way to contact, No answers to email!! No listed phone number and their website is all screwed up!!! I think they are taking our money and getting our personal verified information for their own use!! What else could it be when they don't provide the promised services, and they dont answer emails or provide any contact information?? I'm a little more than worried about what they plan to do with my personal "VERIFIED" information!!!! DAMN THEM TO HELL!!! DO NOT USE VITALCHEK..HUGE SCAM!!! No way to contact, No answers to email!! No listed phone number and their website is all screwed up!!! I think they are taking our money and getting our personal verified information for their own use!!

AND if you cancel out and don't send the fax verifying your identity- they STILL charge you $12 for doing absolutely nothing. A charge of $12, just for visiting their site! Anyways, I just got off the phone with them- the number is 1-800-669-8312 (I got the phone number complements of the ancestry.com team) Hope that helps someone. File a complaint with the Better Business Bureau- those seem to get resolved "somewhat" quickly. They have enough filed...

They don't do what they tell. I ordered a copy of my son's birth certificate via Vitalcheck and i waited two months . Still it did not receive. Eventually I called to vitalcheck. It's funny what they told me. They told me to call the health department. In vain!. My money and time. I could apply directly via regular mail. We use such a service for faster service paying little more. But it is useless. Don't use that funny service. They are not responsible for our orders. They just take our money. I totally agree.

So far, I've had no problems. The price is too high; however, I was not in the mood to wait nor go to Chicago or Memphis to personally get certified docs on births and marriage. I really paid for this service each time, but I got my docs quickly and hassle free. Hallelujah! Sorry you had sooooo much trouble. I’ve used Vitalcheck 4 times now. So far, I’ve had no problems.

I had scanned my drivers license 2 times and they wanted increased in size. I sent an email that explained that I looked at the copy sent and it is as clear as a bell. I asked what was not legible and low and behold they confirmed that they faxed it to the authorization department. Why not just give us their e-mail address and we can e-mail them directly so that they don't have to worry about the clearness of the fax. Lets see how long it takes now already been 7 days since this started. I agree with every concern mentioned on this page and as for expedited service…what a joke.

He then found out he needed their birth certificates and started calling around. After many phone calls he found the only way to get them was to fly back to Pennsylvania and go in person to the vital records office. He started the company to help out other people so that they wouldn't have to go through what he did.

Upon review of their website I can't find a phone number so after some research I did find the number to customer care (1-800-255-2414). Hope this helps some of you guys.
