I have had an excellent experience!! I called them yesterday to ask clarifying questions about my newborns birth certificate. I live in baltimore but I saw that this location allowed for walk ins. When I called, the lady I spoke to was super nice. I told her my son was born 8 days ago and if he would have a birth certificate ready. She took the time to get his personal information and mine to check and said it was in the system. Fast forward to today and I drove the 45 minutes with my husband and newborn. There was NO line!! The gentleman at the check in as informative and swift. After filling out the needed paperwork, it only took about five minutes! This was definitely a trip well worth it and I will be leaving with two copies of my newborns birth certificate.

What a breeze! I scheduled an appt the day prior for birth certificates. I was in and out within 20 minutes. Will definitely come back here in the future. Courteous staff, not a lot of traffic, and prompt service.

Getting anything from a government office is usually like trying to squeeze water out of a rock, but this particular office in Westminster was very much the exception. Wendy, Ozzie and Andrew made the whole (and very brief) effort an exercise in friendly and engaging hospitality. I came for a copy of my birth certificate and despite a couple of hurdles (not having a driver's license at the moment) was passed with their willing and helpful assistance. Thank you all and God bless every one of you.
