I was attempting to order a Louisiana birth certificate for my son online and -- unbeknownst to me -- a third party entity known as Vital Records Gov intercepted my request, charged me an extortionary fee, provided me with unprintable forms and provided me with more aggravation than they alleviated. My intention was not to deal with such a company, but deal direct with the records department in that state. By forcing me to deal through them, they proved to be a pack of thieves. Thumbs down! AVOID!
