Archive.com any experience?

[Thrif-t]

I need a "copy" (not certified just a copy) of my fathers death certificate from 1996. I can get one online by signing up for this service, Archives.com, it's free for 7 days and then will charge your card 9.99/mo if you don't cancel before the free trial ends. I'm a little leery giving them my credit card info, but it would make it so easy to be able to get the death certificate online and not go down to the bureau of vital statistics. There is a time element and I need it as soon as possible.

So do you have any experience with this site? Is it safe to use? Thanks

No way would I do that. Go directly to the state, city, or county where the certificate is registered. It will cost less and give no middle-people to lose it. You should be able to do it by mail or in person. Strangely, some such government offices still do not take online orders.
