  My wife and I were having trouble obtaining our Real ID on time for our vacation this coming May due to the recent increase in applications. Instead we decided to get passports which we thought would be much quicker if expedited. We then saw an ad online from a ***** affiliate called Rush My Passport. This company advertised that you can expedite the process of your passport application and shipping by paying a select amount. We each paid $238.95 to have our passports filed and sent. We soon learned the only thing this company can provide is a goverment application for a passport (which is free). We still had to get a new form at the post office and have the mail clerk assist us in sending out all the necessary information. This company claims you may receive a refund within 24 hours by filling out an online form at the ******** website. This form is not available on their website. There are multiple phone numbers and names of businesses associated with this company. All phone numbers lead to an answering service that does not connect to anything. We have disputed the charges as we were misled about the services that were to be provided and charged almost 500 dollars for a free goverment form. We have yet to hear anything back. I do not want them involved in my passport process WHATSOEVER.

  We're sorry that you have had a negative experience with our service offering and experienced such difficulties reaching a member of our team. We are an online expediting company, that provides the expediting process once you're documents have reached the Department of State. However, when you're doing a brand new passport the ******************* does require that you have your identity and your documents authenticated by a government official at an acceptance agent such as the post office, courthouse or your local library before they can be sent to the Department of State for processing. That process unfortunately is a completely separate process that we have no control over. I have pulled your account and I have canceled the order and sent the refund request to our billing department, they'll process the refund within ***** hours and after that you should see the funds reflected back to the original form of payment that was used to created the account within 3-5 business days. You'll also receive a cancelation and refund request form in your email, please select one of the options of why you would like to cancel and then click submit. I was not able to locate your wife's account so if you could please respond with her order number we'll be happy to get her order canceled and refunded as well. If you have any further questions or concerns please let us know.

  My wife and I used this service solely because the us postal service was impossible to get an appointment with for new passport processing. We filled out the application as requested and on completion we received a list of passport processing locations. The only one listed other than our post office that we contacted stated they had no clue why they were still on their website as they no longer provided passport processing services. We then had to redo our applications and wait for an appointment to finally come available at a post office an hour away from our home. The service provided us with nothing other than a nice printed application which we couldn't use and being charged $297.90 for absolutely nothing. I filled out the request refund form as requested and it has now been 17 days and have heard nothing back from them.

  I was directed to the RushMyPassport site after searching and see that AAA provided passport assistance. I had no idea that *** would pass customers off to such a bogus service. I will be contacting AAA as well. I went through the initial steps that RushMyPassport required. Which was completing a passport application form they were, supposedly, guiding me through so it would be accurate and processed more quickly. Then I paid them $188.10 ($209 - AAA discount). I received an email saying my "application packet" was complete. I downloaded the application I had completed on their site. I read all of the directions--I had to get all of the necessary documents and go to a Passport Acceptance Agent to finalize things. The Passport Acceptance Agent is the ****. I was using this expedited service so I could bypass the **** because they are so busy at this time. I was able to get a walk-in appointment at the ****. Ultimately I had to start the process from the beginning. The application they had "helped" me fill out was completely wrong and needed to be discarded. I had to fill in a new application by hand. I had to pay all of the fees, including the one for expediting the process to the ****. The post office employee had no idea what I was talking about when I said I had already paid for expedited service. She had no idea how the application, etc., I was working on with her would "meet up" with some other order number somewhere else. I paid the **** $306--which duplicated what I had already paid to RushMyPassport. RushMyPassport did nothing for me accept have me type up an incorrect application form. There was NO service provided. I am really irate about this. They are just taking advantage of people who are in the difficult situation of needing a passport very quickly.

  We are sorry that you have had a negative experience with our service offering and experienced such difficulties. When you're applying for a new passport it is a requirement by the ******************* that you have your identity and your documents verified and your signature witnessed by a government official at a Passport Acceptance Agent, such as the your local post office or courthouse. The fee that you paid to Rush My Passport was for the service only, to have your passport expedited in a 3 week time frame. The government fee that you paid at the post office is a completely separate fee, it does state that on our website. We have canceled your order, our billing department will process your refund within ***** hours, after that you should see the refund reflected back to the original form of payment that the account was created with. You should also receive a cancelation/refund request in your inbox, please just select the reason for your cancelation and then submit. Please let us know if you have any further questions or concerns.

  I canceled my order before using it. I was unable to download files or use an application and had many issues. I asked for a refund and was told one would be sent. I called and asked for an update and you have to leave a voicemail where no one calls back or responds. It is very difficult to reach a live person or have a call returned. Still waiting for my refund from 4/2/2025

  Submitted a refund request that was not processed, contacted customer support once, upon contacting them again, it was said that there was never a refund filed which is plainly and wholly inaccurate. The refund request was submitted through their portal, and confirmed by the first support agent. The second support agent claimed the refund request never occurred even though these interactions were within 10 minutes of one another. Its absurd that this company is partnered with *** and its absurd that this company exists. They take your money under false pretenses of being a faster option or more convenient, when neither of these things are true and they absolutely rinse you for money. Upon contacting this second support agent they remembered the refund request existed and was filed, and then stated that they were behind due to their new policy meant to speed these things up. Makes absolutely zero sense how a refund request can get lost and even less sense that a policy meant to make the refund process smoother would cause a delay.Absolutely and undeniably a shady business that exists solely to scalp your money. Stay far far away and do not interact with them. They push your refund far enough down the road so you do not receive full compensation for this service that only does a disservice to you.Its also hilarious that on their phone number the first thing they mention is refunds. That should tell you all you need to know. Stay away.

  I was needing a passport for my up coming trip, I have never had my passport. I went through fed ex so I thought it was legit. After speaking to the passport acceptance facility and even the workers at *** ex i realized it was a scam and that all i need to do is pay the $60 for an expedited option. The refund form is not available where it says it should be. I am unable to get anyone on the phone to resolve this issue. I want a full refund.

  Order: GW-1DCFB3603 Amount of Transaction: ****** Date Posted: 11/3/2024 Merchant Name: RUSH MY PASSPORT ADMIN Card Number: XXXXXXXXXXXX0365 This dispute because this vendor allowed the product to be sent to the wrong address making their involvement in the process worthless to me and a violation of their promise to deliver "Passports delivered safe, fast, and secure." as the passport sat on the front porch of a house ***** miles from my location with nobody to retrieve it. The whole idea was to speed up the delivery of my passport before a trip and as you can see in their e-mail they ask for the delivery address which I provided them. The passport was delivered on time to the wrong address ***** miles from where I was about to catch an airplane overseas. This oversight on their side cost me time, stress and money that I will never get back. At the very least they did not earn the fee they charge for their service.The attached pdf is their confirmation e-mail which clearly has my desired delivery address written as ********************************************************The attached picture is the package I eventually received that was delivered to ******************************************************I reached out to the company and they take no responsibility and have offered no recourse for this mix up. They are supposedly the experts and I paid them to guide me through this process and expedite it which they did not. I would have been better off just doing it myself.Let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you for your time.

  Dear Better Business Bureau,I am submitting this complaint against RushMyPassport.com regarding their deceptive and inefficient passport renewal process, which resulted in an unjustified additional charge of $170 for an emergency service upgrade due to delays caused entirely by their internal ************ is a detailed account of my experience:I applied for a rush passport renewal through RushMyPassport.com, expecting a streamlined process as advertised.I followed all instructions, submitted all required documents promptly, and even had my passport photo taken at a recommended location.After submitting my application, the website instructed me to call a phone number to finalize the process.Despite repeated attempts over the course of a week, no one answered my calls, and no one returned my messages.This delay prevented me from obtaining the necessary paperwork to mail in my passport within the original service timeframe.Eventually, I was able to reach someone through their online chat bot, which instantly lifted the hold on my application without requiring any new information from me.Because of this unnecessary delay, I was forced to pay an additional $170 for a higher-priority service level to ensure I received my passport in time for my trip.Had RushMyPassport.com handled my application efficiently or provided basic customer service, I would have met my original timeline without needing to pay the additional $170. Their system intentionally obstructed my ability to proceed, forcing me into a higher payment tier, which I consider fraudulent and unethical business practice.I am requesting a full reimbursement of the $170 that I was unfairly charged due to their service failure. Additionally, I believe this companys business practices should be reviewed to prevent other consumers from experiencing the same deceptive tactics.I appreciate your time in reviewing my complaint and look forward to your response.Sincerely,**** *****

  Thank you for contacting us.
  After reviewing your order, we found that you originally placed an order for our 3-week processing service on February 24th. Based on this date, the estimated delivery date would have been March 20th. Given your travel date, this would still have been outside of your travel window.
  Unfortunately, due to this, you are not eligible for a refund. However, we will email you a refund dispute form to the email address we have on file. Please follow the instructions on the form and submit it. Our billing team will review your dispute and make a decision.
