  I tried to rush my passport but was scammed out of $209. This company does not actually rush or assist you with your passport. Please refund my full amount. This should be illegal- its just a scam plain and simple. I've called multiple times and there is no one to talk to, and there is not email address or way to contact anyone.

  I am super upset with this website. My child was kidnapped out of the country and I needed an emergency passport. I paid about $375 for an emergency passport. Soon after paying, I called their phone number to see my next steps with this process. They told me they COULD NOT do my passport application because they are backed up with orders, and my emergency passport would be significantly delayed (He told me I couldn't get my passport before my flight date), and he offered me a refund on his own. I really need this money for my trip. It has been 9 business days. I was told I would be issued a refund between 7-10 business days, but today they are telling me ***** business days... Can I please have my refund for my crisis situation please?

  I am rejecting this response because: I still have NOT received my refund. Why tell me I would get a refund that day and its been a WEEK since you told me you would refund me on BBB. This is fraud. I am very upset because I am dealing with my children's kidnap and this at the same time. I contacted your customer service again today and they told me the refund is still processing and then they stopped replaying to me...

  I've been going back and forth with rushmypassport for a refund for well over a month at this point. I did not and could not utilize the services provided as the application is missing key questions that need to be answered a specific way do not show on the ** based on specific selections for the previous question. I took the application provided to 2 seperate local passport facilities where I spoke with a manager for both who informed me that rushmypassport has no dictatorship in charging for a service they cannot expedite. In addition, they flagged that specific questions were not shown on the application I utilized that were mandatory to fill out. These questions are not visible in the ** when selecting "No" for the previous question to the paying user (me) and in the printable version when they should be visible. I've shared the *************** of the managers at my local facilities who informed me of this issue, I have screen recordings of the ** issue and I have paper copies and receipts showing that I could not utilize the forms provided on this service due to a major ** overlay issue. The call ***resentative ******* was particularly the worst and was speaking on legal matters outside of her scope and role. Considering that these calls are recorded, this should be discouraged heavily for call ***resentatives who are not educated & licensed to be speaking on legal matters reflecting your company. I've filled out the dispute form on 6/18-6/19 to no avail. I've spoken to multiple ***resentatives who said I'd receive a call back from a supervisor and have yet to receive a call back as we speak. I've spoken to 3 different ***resentatives in June who informed me that I'd get a refund to no avail. I spoke with **** this morning who again, tried to speak on legal terminology when it's outside of his scope as a call *** and he informed me that I'd be getting another form to fill out AGAIN. I COULD NOT utilize your services due to a ** issue on your end.

  Complaint: 23549304
  
  I am rejecting this response because: I have not received a refund in the timely manner of 6-8 business days as advertised and communicated with me by your employees for well over a month. 

  In addition, my refund request is related to your insufficient UI that does not produce an accurate product that I paid for and was not even able to utilize due to this insufficient UI. Your insufficient UI also produced documentation that was missing core questions that should be answered in a very specific way and not left blank as this is what your UI and final pdf produces. 

  I work in ******************* with engineers specifically for UI issues, the fact that I'm willing to explain this in detail with recordings of your UI failure just for a refund is not something I should even be doing as a paying customer who did NOT and COULD NOT receive the product advertised as there were major issues with your question UI navigation and question reproduction on the pdf itself.

  07/02/2025: They offer expedited passports and even collect your payment without telling you that traveling internationally is a requirement for expedited service. BAIT AND SWITCH. They collected $470 from me without question with an additional $250 due to them, only to be told I cannot have the service they freely allowed me to select and pay for upfront. With current travel requirements of a REAL ID or Passport to fly, this company should be REQUIRED to inform their customers that international ********************** is a requirement for certain paid services and not collect payment until the customer acknowledges and understands their options.

  Business Response

  Date: 07/03/2025

  Thank you for your feedback, and were sorry for any confusion.
  To clarify, faster services such as 79 business days or 24 business days do require proof of international travel. This is a requirement set by the ************************, not by our company.
  We do see that your order was fully refunded as of 07/02. Please allow 3 to 5 business days for the funds to reflect on your account, depending on your bank or card issuer.
  If you have any further questions, feel free to contact us at ************************** or by calling **************. We're happy to assist you.

  I ordered this service from Rush my passport to have my passport expedited within 2-4 business days. Once I finished filling out my application, I was directed to a page that stated that I would need to call their 800 number to complete the application process. I called the number during business hours and was directed to leave a message, which I did. I tried calling again after a few hours of not hearing back. The next day, I attempted to reach out to customer service to inquire about a refund as this was time sensitive and I couldn't get ahold to anyone to even complete my application as they had instructed. I briefly explained the situation via chat to a customer service representative who stated that they were having technical issues and that they couldn't look into my account. When I asked if it would be possible to get a refund they responded with "did you see what I wrote above?" After I told them they were being rude, they ended the chat. Not only do they not deliver in what they charge, but are extremely rude when you manage to reach someone.

  Company claims they will expedite passport processing but when I asked a government acceptance facility, they claim that it is not actually expedited unless you pay the department of state to expedite the processing (which this company does not actually do as they claim). The staff at the acceptance facility also mentioned they see this all the time and said it's a scam. I want my money back. The actual service you receive is a form. The same exact form that the acceptance facility already fills out and provides for you, for free! Not a single part of the process is expedited at all. It actually added more steps to the process, on top of me now having to fight to get my money back. Total scam. I am trying to work with rushmypassport.com to resolve this but, I have little hope they will do the right thing considering the predatory nature of the business they operate. This needs to be shut down. There are numerous of reports of people falling victim to this and realizing the con too late.

  Thank you for sharing your experience, and were truly sorry to hear that the service did not meet your expectations. We understand how frustrating and stressful it can be when you're trying to get important travel documents in a timely manner.
  RushMyPassport is a private passport assistance service that provides document preparation, personalized instructions, and coordination for expedited processing through the *************** of State.  We do assist customers in preparing their documents correctly to avoid delays and help them meet strict mailing and appointment deadlines. We also include the required government expedite fee in the total cost unless the customer opts to pay it separately.
  We recognize that this service may not be ideal for everyone especially those comfortable navigating the process on their ownand we regret if it felt unclear or added extra steps in your case.
  To move forward with your refund request, please provide your order number and il be glad to take a look into your account.

  Purchased the service on May 30, 2025 to have a name change on my Passport, paid for rushed processing. As of yesterday, the government passport department has no record of this application. I had to make an appointment at the closest location and get same day services, costing me additional money, and a 4 hour drive. This company will not return my documents (Marriage license and old passport) without me paying additional fees, they changed me their fee, and a government fee for processing. They have not provided the advertised service, not have they provided a timeline in which the service will not be completed even though I had paid for a rush.

  Thank you for sharing your experience, and were truly sorry for the frustration and inconvenience this situation has caused especially with the added stress of travel, additional expenses, and the time you invested to resolve it.
  After reviewing your order, we see that your application was not submitted to the ************************ because it was printed double-sided, which unfortunately renders it invalid per federal guidelines. You were notified of this error on June 20, and until corrected documents are received, we are unable to proceed with processing.
  We understand how disappointing this has been and want to assure you that a full refund was issued for your order on June 30, 2025. However, if you would like your original documents (such as your marriage license and old passport) returned, youll need to contact our team directly to arrange payment for return shipping.
  We sincerely apologize again for the inconvenience and are here to support you if you need any further clarification or assistance.

  Deceptive Advertising practices! ***** Rush My Passport is not using clear and transparent language to describe their services. The fine print explains that passports take minimum of 1 week to be processed but the large print advertising is a rush in 3 days is available. We paid $650 when realizing our sons passport had expired and we had 3 days before the trip. There was no time to address their deceptive advertising and we had to drive to a passport office in ******* to simply get our own rush printed same day for $190

  Thank you for your feedback, and we're truly sorry to hear about the stress you experienced while trying to secure a passport for your son.
  We understand how critical timing is when travel is involved, especially with such a tight window. While we do offer expedited processing options, passport issuance timelines ultimately depend on factors such as appointment availability, document submission, and federal processing times. We aim to be as transparent as possible about these requirements throughout the application process, but were sorry if any part of the service was unclear.
  Regarding your refund, a refund request form has been submitted to the email address we have on file. Please fill out the form and hit "submit" once completed. Our records show that your application package has not been downloaded and it has not been more than 30 days since your order was placed, which means you should be eligible for a refund. Please allow 7 to 10 business days for your request to go under review. 
  We truly appreciate your patience and hope to resolve this quickly for you. If you have any questions or need further assistance, were here to help.

  I am disputing this charge and requesting a refund because the service is faulty, seems fraudulent, and does not provide any customer support or service to answer questions or provide timelines or next step information. On June 16th, I purchased the RushMyPassport 7-9 day expedited passport service. When I completed the online forms, I received this message:"Thanks for your submission.
