I expected to wait a very long time but the wait was relatively short for a government office. I appreciated that they had the forms readily available and clear directions on what we needed to do. I loved that they gave us the birth certificate to SAME DAY😀

In and out very quickly. Birth certificate was $23 and the plastic sleeve was $3.

If you need a full detailed birth certificate, THIS is where you go! Attendant made it CLEAR what it would look like. She saw the copies I had of the "short" birth certificates and asked if the courthouse issued refunds to which I responded no. She apologized on THEIR behalf. She told me what I was purchasing BEFORE I bought it to make sure it was what I needed. No hidden fees. 10 stars compared to my horrible experience and waste of money at the courthouse.
