Terms of Service

1. Overview:
   By using this website you understand that this is a service for the sole purpose of applying for US Passport Book and/or US Passport Card. You understand that this website provides expedited (i.e. rushed, hurried, quicker) services and processing compared to what is considered standard/routine through the US Postal System. You understand that this is not the only way to apply for the passport, as you have the option to submit documents directly through a government based provider. You understand that if you are comfortable with waiting up to 8 weeks for a passport from the point that you apply, an expedited service is not required. All passports require documents to be submitted. The applicant must have proof they are a US citizen to be eligible to use this website to apply. To request these services you understand that an applicant is not automatically entitled to a passport, as it is the US Department of State decision to either approve or deny an applicant’s request for a passport. The company you are hiring to assist with the passport process provides instructions, forms, shipping directions and support; but does not guarantee the outcome. You understand the couriers of the company will submit the documentation received to the federal passport agency; conditionally that you have included all properly completed requested & required documentation.

2. Passport Agency
   The Federal Agency may require additional documents beyond what was originally advised, or they may change the requirements without notice. Our company cannot be held responsible for the delays, expenses, or inconveniences if the Passport Agency were to alter the requirements after documents have been received. The Passport Agency does not issue refunds for checks or money orders that they process. You understand that if you request to have your documents returned once they have been received or submitted, then the amount paid to our company is nonrefundable.

3. Approvals/Denials
   Signature Passport Service does not issue passports. Even by supplying all the required documents the US Government is entitled to reject individuals from receiving a US Passport. There is no universal way to predict approval odds. Approval for citizenship does not translate to passport approval. Our company as well as the Passport Agency do indicate if there are errors or omissions in a person’s documents and request the remaining(missing) material. Once documentation is received by our company the fee paid to our company and the fee to the Government would be considered nonrefundable. *Read more below

4. Fees
   You understand that the fees you pay our company do not fully or partially cover the Government fees that you owe the US Department of State. You understand that the government fees for an expedited passport are greater than routine processing, and the cost of a passport book is greater than a passport card. You understand that the applicant is responsible for paying the shipping cost to submit your documentation to our office, the cost of passport photos, as well as the cost for your documents to be verified by an Acceptance Agent. The fees paid to our company are for the services we provide and FedEx Priority Overnight return shipping. Services include: a limited reservation at the Passport Agency for a chosen expedited service, receiving of proprietary content (checklists, links, tools, directions, etc), and support from our specialists.

Our company provides a checklist of these documents, along with the support and tools to help an applicant apply for their passport. The applicant understands that they are not shipping the documents to the government; they must send it to one of our locations for processing at the Passport Agency. The applicant is responsible for any errors, or omissions, so we cannot be held liable of applicant mistakes; though we agree upon documentation arrival to advise of any important errors or omissions and assist with the resolution (unless the application is sealed and verified by the Acceptance Agent).
