This review is for Tammy B., I wish I could give her ten stars. These past two and a half years of my life have been a whole Netflix series of tragic and stressful events. I’ve come into contact with so many people that were the opposite of helpful to say the least. Tammy, was not one of them. She’s an incredibly warm and compassionate woman with a heart of gold and I will remember her forever. She’s one heck of a special woman!!

We walked in to get a passport. While it was busy, we only waited about 45 minutes. The process was super organized. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful- it was a great experience! Thank you!

Tammy B. was absolutely amazing. She took her time to guide me through the entire passport process and made sure I had all the correct documents before submitting anything. She was patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about helping me get everything done the right way. What could have been a very stressful situation felt smooth and manageable because of her. I’m extremely grateful for her professionalism and kindness — she’s truly an asset.

I drove 1.5 hours one way to go to this register of deeds office in Wake because they could not process my document online - I was filing a DBA amendment. For some reason the NC SOS DBA form is so poorly made that what I was trying to do became unnecessarily difficult without help from the office staff. Everybody there was super nice and helpful - really patient with me. Great staff members!
