Unfortunately, I'm a native of North Wilkesboro, NC right in Wilkes County. I live out of the state(thank God!) I have been trying to get my birth certificate for months now because of starting a new job. I was directed to NC Vitols site when I called down there I haven't heard anything in months especially since the birth certificate was paid for and hasn't been sent to me, there was a screw up because the site was a third party site and I'm being jerked around.
