UPDATE: After this review, I contacted the below email address and Michael was extremely prompt and helpful and the only one to apologize on behalf of the borough itself when I had never interacted with him previously (ie the mistakes / issues were not his own). I did receive my first ever call back from the registrar lady who fixed her mistake on our certified copies. Michael quickly mailed us off those new certified copies which had the correct wedding date this time. Thank you Michael for going above and beyond, and helping others do their job correctly. Do not get married in this township. You will be given incorrect information about the after marriage document process and when you’re able to apply for those certified copies. Also, your “certified” marriage license will have the incorrect marriage date on there even when it is signed, sealed, and says it’s been certified as correct!!! (Also our certificate, before the license, had the wrong birth place name on it too, but we were able to correct it before it was signed by our pastor and submitted to the State). Good luck when calling to ask for updates as you’ll rarely reach the marriage lady and if not, you’ll have to give the other person your information and are promised you’ll get called back immediately, but won’t receive a call back (even waiting over a week plus). So, you’ll have to call back multiple times to finally be able to talk to that marriage license woman. Really poor customer service and careless mistakes, not worth the stress. Really disappointing experience, especially stressful for a very far out of state resident.
