THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT WEBSITE!

1. THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT WEBSITE!

2. Do not be fooled by the rating. Fake reviews are being written. Trust the “unprompted reviews.”

3. The ‘fee’ I paid I thought was for and to the government for the passport renewal. It was not.

4. I thought I was uploading my documents to the official US Passport office. I thought they were verifying that my documents met all the requirements before I sent them in via post the office. I did not know, want or ask them to send my documents on my behalf.

5. I scanned everything on the checklist including the application with my social security number and a copy of my check with the bank routing and account number for ‘pre approval’. Once I scanned my documents I never received confirmation they were received or the documents were accurately filled out.

6. Immediately I felt something was off. I Googled HelloGov and I saw it was not an official government site and it was not good. I know better than this! I immediately closed my credit card, and my checking account. Put a freeze on my credit, placed fraud alerts through all 3 credit bureaus. Contacted and reported them to the SSA Office, FTC and submitted a claim with my CC. There is an entire identity/fraud checklist on what to do and who to contact. It’s a lot. And I’m pissed!

7. I should mention the following business day after I scanned my documents, I had four text messages sending me login codes. Two texts came while I was AT the bank. These were login codes I had not requested. Someone was trying to access something. Coincidence?

8. Update: I checked my credit card and apparently someone has contacted them, I have a pending refund. When I asked a week ago their response was no.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. OR BUYER BEWARE.

Hi Sherry,

We’re sorry to hear how upsetting this experience felt. To clarify, HelloGov is a private, non-government service that assists customers with preparing and expediting passport applications. We do not and have never represented the U.S. government. We also state multiple times on the website and checkout that government fees are always separate.

We are however a registered passport courier with the U.S. Department of State. You can find us listed here on their official website: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/get-fast/courier-and-expeditor-companies.html

We take data security extremely seriously and use encrypted systems to protect customer information. We do not access bank accounts, request unsolicited login codes, or initiate outside account activity.

We’re glad to hear a refund is pending. Immediately upon seeing this we tried contacting you to address any remaining concerns. Please respond to us directly via phone or email Thomas@hellogov.com so we can discuss this further.

We thought we needed express

We had originally paid the $455. When we went to the courier (fedex), we were told that we didn't qualify because our trip was not within 2 weeks. I called HelloGov. They took care of me. They issued a refund due to extenuating circumstances. I really appreciate how they handled this. Thank you.

Thank you so much for the great review! We’re thrilled everything was clear, simple, and FAST. 😊

On your old passport: in most cases, the government returns it separately (often weeks later). If it doesn’t show up, our team can help you check on it.

Do not waste your time or money!!!!

This was among the worst customer experience that I have ever had! It is impossible to reach a real person. They only have AI bots that can not help other than to try to schedule a call which NEVER happens. After weeks of trying I had to give up, start from scratch and write off about $600. So not waste your time or money!!!

If I could have selected 0 stars that…

If I could have selected 0 stars that would have been more appropriate. I started the process of trying to expedite my passport with Hellogov on 1/5/2026, and was told I would have it by 1/24/2026. I never received it. On 2/1/2026 after numerous texts and numerous days texting with a robot asking for someone to call me to let me know where it was, finally on 2/4/2026 someone did call only to say that my passport was lost at thew Fedex facility, and that a manager would have to call me back with information of where it was. I never received a call. I had to go to a passport agency to secure my passport for my flight on 2/12/2026. Not only did they lose track of my passport, they never reached out to try and make it right. After asking for a refund, they said I didn't quallify!? This was a total waste of money, and a very painful lesson! Do not click the download packet button!!
