An easy, swift experience getting a certified copy of my birth certificate. I’ve been stressed about getting my passport in time and finally got a same-day appointment in Chicago. Because a different agency is holding my birth certificate, I had nothing to show. It took 10 mins and I was out the door. Thank you for your help in my time of stress! :)

Wow I couldn't believe how smoothly my visit went. I wanted to get some free at home COVID testing kits. The lady at the desk handed them to me immediately. Didn't press me on why I wanted to get tested, if I had symptoms, didn't make me fill out any paperwork, etc. I was in and out in less than 10 minutes with my testing kits. Thank you for such a simple and prompt visit!
