The staff is helpful, fast, & professional, yet friendly and personable. I would recommend their services to get an official birth certificate. The downside is that GPS took me in through an exit only drive!

Due to being exposed to Covid-19 I was tested and came back Negative. Thank goodness! Now additional questions have come up and my employer needs verification. The Health Department should be able to get you the paperwork you need, she said. Well Ive been waiting for over week still NADA. I wont loose my job because they cant do theirs. I will just sit in the waiting room patiently til they can spare 60 seconds.
