Need a Passport? Watch Out for Scams

The Village has been informed of passport scams and reminds the public to be cautious. Never pay to book an appointment at a passport agency or center. If you need to travel internationally within seven to nine weeks, the U.S Department of State offers limited "urgent travel" appointments to expedite your passport. Up until last year, you were able to make appointments online, but when scammers began using bots to snap up appointments and resell them, the State Department had to shut down its online appointment option. You need to call the National Passport information Center at 1-877-487-2778 or visit the website: www.travel.state.gov

Never pay to fill out passport forms online. Some companies charge a fee for this, but they are not affiliated with the U.S. Department of State. You can download forms for free from the travel website: www.travel.state.gov or pick them up at the Clerk’s Office at Village Hall.

Some private courier companies or passport expeditors are authorized by the State Department to submit passport applications for customers. But there are also many unauthorized scam companies. Even legitimate expeditors cannot get your passport any faster than you would get it by applying in person at a passport center or agency. Sometimes you'll have to appear in person even if you use a courier service. At best, these services cost you extra money and in the worst case, they are scams.
