If I had known that I could get the desired document by going directly through Vital Records,
I would have paid only $53.95. I knew about the $71 ripoff through BirthCertificateState.com.
When I received my charge card statement I discovered that I had been double charged the the $53.95 for the actual record. Once thru BirthCertificateState.com and once through Vital Records. The total ripoff therefor was $124.95, not just the $71. BirthCertificateState.com should be censored from using the internet to advertise their extremely blatant ripoff.
Any companies you use to obtain important documents need to be investigated first. I'm sure there are other dishonest companies besides this one.
Getting a copy of a birth certificate needed for a legal proceeding.
