VitalChek - the Fastest Way to Get Certified Documents!

TechTips
Getting a certified copy of your marriage license or birth certificate can be quite the ordeal, you have to find the appropriate forms, fill them out, mail the forms with a check and hope they don't get lost or trashed in the process. Well now there is a much easier way where you can get these certified copies without even leaving your house. All you have to do now is go to www.vitalchek.com and fill out their online forms and pay with a credit card. Then in 7-10 days (or 2-3 if you pay the 15 extra for quick shipping) you will get your certified document.

I wanted to let others know about this awesome website because it saved me a lot of time and waiting for my kid's birth certificate which I needed quickly in order to get his passport so he can go to Mexico for Christmas this year. The paper forms that you mail in take anywhere between 2-4 weeks to process once you send them in. Going through VitalChek saved me a good 10-14 days and once I got the certified copy I got my kids passport.

The process is very simple all you need to do is go to the VitalChek website, and then follow the simple steps. The website is very easy to navigate and there are big clickable buttons labeled for each type of document. For birth certificate you just click on the button that says "Birth Certificate", shocking I know. Once you are in there they will just verify some important information to prove you are who you say you are so they can send you the documents. You can use this site for all of the 50 states.

For those of you who are worried about security of your personal information and credit card info VitalChek encrypts all transactions and uses a firewall and only government agencies will be handling your certificates when processing your request. So you don't have to worry about identity theft or losing your documents they make sure that they process and deliver your documents in the safest possible way.

The process is so fast I took me about 3 minutes to complete the online forms and submit my payment, then in no time I had a confirmation email with a tracking number. Now I can check on the status of my documents and watch it online until it hits my door step. This is the best and easiest way to get certified copies of important documents like birth certificates, marriage certificates, etc. The one downfall to the process is it costs an additional $8, if you mail in the forms it costs $12 for the first certified copy and $7 for each additional copy. This is the same on VitalChek but they also charge a onetime $8 fee for processing the online request. So instead of my two copies costing $19 they cost me $28 but it was well worth the money since I got the documents in 6 days instead of 4 weeks.

The VitalChek process costs a few dollars more but anyone who likes to save time and not have to worry about mailing a bunch of forms and waiting without knowing if your forms and check ever were delivered, then VitalChek might be just what you need. I love to see my order being processed and knowing exactly when the documents will be at my door, I can't stand sending stuff away and never hearing back for weeks and then finding out it got lost in the mail and I have to resend all of it again. That takes to much time and effort and I like to get things fast, VitalChek got this done for me. This is one of the best services I have ever used and will continue to use in the future and I suggest others do the same.

    You all realize that this site isn't affiliated with Vital Check and the guy just wrote an article about how to use the vital Check services right?

    Sorry you all seem to have had bad experiences with Vital Check. When I used them they were quick and gave me what I bought. I don't know if something has changed or if I was just lucky but I suggest you make your case with BBB and dispute the charges on your credit card. Sorry

    These people are a complete scam and fraud, the worst part is that they seemed to be sanctioned by the states that use them. They are scum plain and simple STAY CLEAR!!!!
