Definuitely pro local - they seem to average about 7 days

Plus you get a photocopy of the actual certificate not the registry entry

How did you manage that? The Cert I received from a local RO was a typewritten version......another opportunity for mistakes! What am I doing wrong?

Every one I've received from the local RO has been a certified photocopy

I would think it takes longer to type one out rather than photocopy it

I just checked with the office I need some from and they said they had a high workload so at least 2 weeks.
