This place is newer. They moved from Leeds Avenue. Just to give you a little to no stress. Came in 8:26AM open at 8:30, straight to vitals-first inline. Got my ticket, filled up the paper, got called in on the window, talk to personal and boom WHALA! Got it. Not even 15 minutes in the building. I know some of you are hesitate go and visit the place. It is nice, easy and fast. You don't have to wait for 4 to 5 days online nor mail. Goodluck and I hope my review helps.

I had an excellent experience at Vital Records on Rivers Ave, SC. The whole process was smooth, quick, and very organized. I was able to get my baby's birth certificate in less than 5 minutes without any hassle, and the staff was helpful and efficient. Everything was handled professionally, and I really appreciated how fast it all went. Highly recommend this location if you need vital records!
