Actually, most of the staff are super friendly. However, there's one woman named Daisy who is the classic bitter government Karen, who will go out of her way to make your life miserable. She's in some position of marginal power, so beware if you have any questions or want some clarification... you'll be directed to her.

Thank you to the kind woman I spoke to over the phone this morning. I did not catch her name, but she was so kind and helpful with my needs. My father went into the office on my behave, and he said the process to get my birth certificate was seamless, timely, and everyone was kind. Thank you for the great customer service.
