Very well
Thanks for the support
Simple sv, it is a garbage service, to say the least, I have requested a birth certificate on three occasions and I have not even received the notification to make the payment, I have already written the same on three occasions and they never respond to me, they are probably very busy looking at social networks gossiping or getting their nails done, just like with the post office, they scammed my mother, they charged her the amount of a birth certificate and it never arrived, when she filed the claim they told her that if she wanted she had to go to Sonsonate to request it herself, but what I had paid was not going to be reimbursed, because of those things I don't even want to return to my country.
Excellent service
