There’s not a standard pricing, seeing as VitalChek charges the same certificate fee as the agency, they just charge more because you’re getting it much quicker with the convenience of ordering & expediting along with express shipping. So it really just depends on which state you're ordering from because the fees vary. The site's FAQ section, which I've found helpful, https://vitalchek-solutions.custhelp.com/app/home has a lot of other answers for people looking into using the service.HeadsorTailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09297579367259052412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7077574950918175884.post-26666941239119942052012-06-06T21:56:44.018-04:002012-06-06T21:56:44.018-04:00Thank you for sharing your experience with using V...Thank you for sharing your experience with using VitalChek. Ordering death records through the state usually costs around $10 each. They take about 4-6 weeks to arrive in the mail. What is the cost from VitalChek?Ginger Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17453442334718861407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7077574950918175884.post-32591896483997605072012-06-05T11:54:57.654-04:002012-06-05T11:54:57.654-04:00Thanks for your quick response (sorry mine is so b...Thanks for your quick response (sorry mine is so belated!). I actually did use the service, and I have to say that it was overall a good experience. I'm not sure what the price would have been comparably to ordering directly from the county, but I don't regret using VitalChek. It was a fast process, as far as ordering and delivery go. So I guess it just comes down to the genealogist's preference!HeadsorTailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09297579367259052412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7077574950918175884.post-86456682818863764722012-05-21T22:21:08.118-04:002012-05-21T22:21:08.118-04:00Hi, I looked at VitalChek when I first started res...Hi, I looked at VitalChek when I first started researching but was put off by the costs of the service. I just tried to look at it again and could not get the drop down boxes to show up in order to enter the date of death, so I could not go any further. Also a lot of their help files are missing as well. I have been very happy with ordering directly from the county or from the State agencies and have not needed to employ a service like this. If you have used this service I would love to hear about your experience.

I don't live near your area so this post doesn't quite pertain to me, but I was wondering if your genealogy expertise has ever led you to use VitalChek <a href="http://http://www.vitalchek.com/death-certificates" rel="nofollow">http://www.vitalchek.com/death-certificates</a> for obtaining death certificates? It seems you have a system down pat, but for my own purposes, I'm not so well-versed in research like you seem to be, so ordering from this express certificate service seems more my speed. Just wondering if you were familiar with it at all.<br /><br />Thanks a bunchHeadsorTailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09297579367259052412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7077574950918175884.post-4186897756035902762012-05-08T10:28:14.391-04:002012-05-08T10:28:14.391-04:00Thanks Alissa, I will keep that in mind!Thanks Alissa, I will keep that in mind!Ginger Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17453442334718861407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7077574950918175884.post-12835773982051059912012-05-08T09:16:12.461-04:002012-05-08T09:16:12.461-04:00Hi, just a comment, Little Rock's early record...Hi, just a comment, Little Rock's early records are sparse. I have sent off for death certificates dating in 1918 and 1919 and they were unable to provide them. Just a FYI. <br /><br />Hunting in Arkansas... bunches! <br />Alissa Gage Hill<br />Muskogee, OKAlissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12130376988459663403noreply@blogger.com
