Very rude customer service over the phone, I understand working in customer service can be extremely frustrating, but there is no need to take it out on other callers who are looking for simple clarification. For anyone reading who may be looking to get a certificate that never came that was ordered through Vital Chek, or a refund for one.. call the Vital Chek customer service directly. Turns out they may be able to help out rather than forcing you to pay for a new order.

Had to pick up a copy of my daughter’s birth certificate that I ordered online. Aside from having to pay a really big fee for a third-party to process it, I found going to pick it up a super easy experience. Park in the garage attached to the building. If there is no line and you can get in and out of there in 30 minutes, you don’t have to pay parking. The person at the helpdesk was very kind and it was super easy.

For no reason the person on the phone started yelling on me. Perhaps I didn’t understand the first time. Maybe I'm a pretty stupid customer. But an employee of a state institution should not yelling at another person no matter what his client is. Be a human first!

I was in and out in 3 minutes with my birth certificate. I arrived at 4:45pm and no one was in waiting room. There was ample space and it was clean. Service was fast, efficient, and pleasant. Good job King County!

Who do I get in contact with to get a copy of a family members will. And what info do I need

Kim Hall | Aug 14, 2022
Suzie | Aug 15, 2022

It depends if the will was registered in the deceased person's county I think. If it was registered with the courts, you may be able to request from the probate court or from the attorney that submitted the will. Right now, most government offices are only taking requests by mail or phone and are closed for walk in services such as this office in Seattle. This office does not handle wills.

I lost my birth certificate when I came to this country. My younger brother found his and changed his date of birth. He's now older than me. Can I bring my younger brothers birth certificate to change my age as I'm 2 years older?

Chris Yang | Aug 14, 2022
Melissa Miles | Aug 15, 2022

Your brothers birth certificate is fraudulent if he changed the date of his birth. Birth certificates are "Certified Records of Live Births" and therefore cannot be altered to make someone older or younger. What he obtained is garbage.
