Surprisingly quickly in and out. It was a week day stop and I got there with about 15 minutes before closing. Hardly any other customers. Everyone was really very nice and helpful. This experience left me relieved and happy as I thought I wasn't going to make it! Thanks PCVS!!

Went in for birth certificate. All in all took me 15 mins! Very fast and easy progress. The ladys at front desk were very helpful. They even printed off papers for info on how to get my single status certificate and apostille for the paper work! (Need them for getting married in the Philippines)

I parked in a 30 minute parking spot and set my timer so I wouldn't get towed. I was in and out in 13 minutes! Go in for your birth certificate, go to kiosk, type the info and viola! DONE ✔️
