7- 10 Day Delivery

I was able to get a passport quickly and easily despite the current political climate and ever increasing demand for passports by American Citizens.

Citizenship and Documentation, have always been hot button political issues but the current political climate in the U.S. has exacerbated the issue.

A lot of people have experienced increased wait times and slower turnaround. Hellogov made the process of applying and receiving a passport easy and not stressful. It’s a tad more costly than the traditional route but there has always been higher fees associated with expedited passports.

Honestly the process should be as easy as registering to vote for U.S. Citizens. Regrettably it isn’t quite that simple but hellogov made it seem as if it was. I was informed in every phase from start to finish.

Simplicity and clarity were the strong suits here. HelloGov was a smart choice in my opinion especially considering I already had a flight planned.

HelloGov delivers on time

I initially used the HelloGov platform to complete a passport renewal due to a name change and selected the Smart option with processing completed in 2-3 weeks. A sudden business trip caused me to upgrade to Emergency 3-4 day processing. HelloGov supported me every step of the way, from selecting the upgrade platform, ensuring I had provided the required materials in a downloaded application package and step-by-step upload instruction, to text notifications to when my passport was submitted to the agency, approved, and shipped directly to me. The turnaround times were exact, and I received my new passport as predicted and in time to submit my details to the airline. It was a great experience and I would not hesitate to go with them again in the future.

Great Experience!

They made an otherwise stressful process easy, and Marcos was a very kind helper. All of our documents arrived sooner than we had expected.

The post office should own the software used to create the forms for passes. It's user-friendly, but $190.00 is too high; it should be about half, and I would have felt more comfortable using them.

Misleading and Scam Service

Misleading and terrible. Paying a company just to essentially provide a shipping label for your passport application. When I called requesting a refund, they denied my request as I just printed the application. It wasn't until it was printed did it become clear that

Amazing customer care

UPDATED: Thomas at HelloGov phoned me to apologize and remedy my experience. His level of customer centric service was fantastic. He offered a solution that more than met my expectations. While my initial experience with the service encountered issues, the response from Thomas absolutely earned 5 stars. Thank you for the integrity and willingness to make it right.

The fees are astronomical!

The fees are astronomical!! Just go to the Post Office yourself! They don't tell you, that you still have to do everything just like going to the post office yourself. The only difference is this company charges you $400 just to be able to call an AI bot for suggestions and help.

The communication and turnaround time was fantastic. One concern I have is that I opted in for the Passport CARD as well and I only received the actual Passport. So I am very thankful for the Passport to arrive so quickly. However, I'm concerned for receiving the Passport Card.
