            Additional Info:
            As of May 12, 2016: According to Vital Statistics (the government agency responsible for providing vital certificates relating to British Columbia births, deaths and marriages) third party companies must have a written consent from the client authorizing them to act on their behalf, otherwise the application is not processed.
            Vital Statics also informed BBB that the timeframe to produce vital certificates are the same regardless of who requests them. A third party company cannot get it faster than the applicant.

            My wife and I both needed a birth certificate replacement for a real estate deal ******. Upon searching the net for the quickest way we both put in for a replacement at Vital Certificates. They claimed quick results and to be sure of quick results we paid extra for their quickest delivery. After a couple of weeks I made 5 email and 5 calls over the next couple of weeks to check our status. Both their email and phone methods say they will get back to you within 24 hours. I heard nothing from them as the respond to nothing. I got very frustrated and called **** records directly. They showed about 3-4 weeks before they could get to it on line. After talking to them I stressed the importance of needing it quickly. They asked me to send them proof of when I was going to ****** and then they processed my application. Within an hour I received a digital copy and the original was sent express mail. Both were done for a total of $65 each. We had given Vital Certificates $115 each to speed up the process and got no communications or birth certificates. There is no place to ask for a refund on line and it is a waste of time making a phone call or sending another email. DO NOT ever use Vital Certificates. My regret is I bought into their advertising and did not check these reviews on the BBB. I want a full refund and this company should be charged for *****
