At first, I thought I was going to be left in the dark but they come threw for me. I reached out to them by email & they reached back out to me the next day. After a few emails back & forward, they got my information & I have gotten a email confirming my birth certificate is being sent out to me. Thanks for the help.

This is the worst customer service I've ever experienced. It shouldn't take months to get a copy of a birth certificate. Illinois needs some better politicians that fund their public services. Stop putting small government Republicans in charge, they don't care about funding government services.

They said it would take a month to 2 months to get my birth certificate it's been 2 and a half Moths still don't have it 18 and can't get a job because they are slow and can't do there job it's like really

Brandon Davis | Oct 25, 2018
Sophia Kinnee | Oct 25, 2018

I hope they did finally get that to you hon, they should have given you a timeframe instead of hoping you would run across that little part out of all that text on the website that says it can take 8 weeks.

Do you have to go to the city you were born in to get a copy of your birth certificate or can you get a copy anywhere?

Betty Robinson | Oct 25, 2018
Kasey Burger | Oct 25, 2018

You can get a copy at the state office (via mail, online, fax or walk into the office) or you must go through the county in which you were born.
