Called and asked a question and the lady audibly groaned and said oh god lol I'd be mad if I didn't understand her frustration with the back and forth between counties, but should probably watch what they say when the phone isn't on hold lol

We needed to have some notarized items certified. Judy was very helpful and kind.

Mrs. Rodriguez was extremely helpful, personable, and pleasant when discussing issues I was having. She provided an email with the documentation I needed almost immediately. If all government service was this fast, friendly, and efficient the world would be a better place. Thank you Chemung County Clerk's Office. You deserve a better google rating and I aim to do just that!
