I had a great experience getting vital records! I called before I came- they were courteous and professional. Then when I got here, Antigua was very friendly and helpful. I also didn’t spend much time waiting either! They were super fast- wish all government agencies were this kind and efficient.

Efficient is pretty straightforward. Fairly easy to find parking immediately right there and there's no charge for parking. Provided you the right documentation and were the right person able to get the particular birth certificate or death certificate filled out the form paid the fee of $10 per record and had no problem getting the official death certificates needed.
