had an excellent experience working with APVI, and I want to specifically recognize Faheem for his exceptional service. From start to finish, Faheem was professional, responsive, and incredibly knowledgeable. He took the time to clearly explain every step of the visa process, answered all of my questions promptly, and ensured everything was handled efficiently and accurately. What truly stood out was Faheem's attention to detail and commitment to client service. He made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth, organized, and reassuring. His communication was consistent, transparent, and proactive, which gave me complete confidence throughout the entire process. If you're looking for a visa specialist who genuinely cares about doing things the right way and delivering top-tier service, I highly recommend Faheem at APVI. Five stars without hesitation -- thank you for making this such a seamless experience! read more

To start, this company answers their phones! Their specialists know the nuts and bolts of each country's application needs. They got my boss his business visa in 3 days. read more

I was a bit hesitant to work with an agency, but it worked out great, given the expense of last minute travel to a Department of State Passport Agency. APVI was very helpful in helping me gather the materials together I needed. Don't think that this service will be doing all the work for you...you need to take the time to gather all the forms and prepare your documents, photo, check payment, etc., and then they send you a FedEx label to mail to APVI. Also, you should know up front that you will also be paying an expedited fee to the Department of State on top of what you pay to APVI. Interestingly enough, although APVI's address is in D.C., my materials were all sent to Chicago, which is okay by me, if that's what's easiest for them. My passport arrived exactly on the day APVI said it would, it was well worth the expense. I did have a hard time scheduling a consultation with them on the first day, their staff keeps very busy and it might be hard getting in touch with them. APVI is friendly and very professional, and they saved me a lot of time and money. read more

I have a bad experience I pay 400& and I didn't get my visa approved and money is not refundable so be careful.

They delivered my passport as promised. It's not cheap, but if you need your passport fast, this is where to do it. They'll call you after you purchase what pertains to your need and walk you through necessary documentation. They're realistic about the timeline. Needless to say, they delivered exactly as promised. read more

These guys screwed me over so badly. They missed the deadline to submit my paperwork and couldn't get my passport back to me in time to make my trip. While they were apologetic, when I called them to get an update on my purchase and they told me they hadn't submitted it yet, they weren't helpful; for only $400 they would submit my paperwork the following day and then I could drive the 4 hours to DC to pick it up myself! Had I done that in the first place and not wasted so much time on APVI, the situation would be much less dire. Their suggestion was that I reschedule my trip. Thanks APVI. GFY. read more

So I placed an order for an expedited passport, and was willing and ready to shell out almost $450 total for everything. However, when I spoke to the representative, whose name is Johnny, he told me that he wanted to warn me that the State has been taking longer than expected lately to release the passports in a timely manner, and that he could not guarantee I'd receive my passport in time. (I paid for 24 hour turnaround time, and he said there's a chance it could take 2-3 business days, which was cutting it too close to my travel date). I really appreciate his honesty. He took the time to explain the whole process to me, and why there might be a delay. This guy has a conscience, and rather than take my money and promise me something he knew he might not be able to fulfill--- he was honest with me and suggested I go a different route. The world sucks now, and there are so many mean-spirited people... it was so refreshing to speak to someone that actually cared enough to save me a lot of money and hassle. Thank you Johnny! read more

APVI saved my BUTT when I had a vacation coming up and noticed my passport expired a month before my trip! I had no notice and time do go through the normal modes and totally panicked! Luckily APVI was there, they were super kind and helpful and calmed me down and assured me I would get on my trip to London, and they were right! Thank you! read more

APVI was awesome. They were available to help me with all of my questions and replied very fast whenever I emailed them. They walk you through all of the steps for getting a new passport and even have an instructional video. Great service! Highly recommend. read more

So I was worried about getting my passport on time and I did a google search about how I could get it the fastest. I found great reviews for a place called APVI express. Once I called, they explained the process to a T and let me know what I had to do, in full detail. Once I got setup and sent in my order, I was introduced to Johnny M who helped me handle my case all the way through. Johnny was polite, professional, and helped me EVERY step of the way. One of the things he warned me of was that if I had any mistakes, that we'd have to probably restart the process or make some changes, which could then in turn cause a delay. I must have called Johnny like 12 times in one day.. and each time, he was more than willing to help me, never seemed annoyed, and I can admit that I was a bit frantic about getting this all done in time. Johnny assured me of the process, was detailed in telling me about each step. He even went above and beyond by letting me know where my local passport agent was, all the associated fees, and how exactly to sign and process everything. Making this process easy was something I truly appreciated. Anyone who's lost a passport knows how frustrating this can be, so the fact that Johnny made this easy for me was something I truly appreciated. I will recommend APVI to all of my friends and will ask them to ask for Johnny. Give this man a raise.. Because of him I will be able to travel to meet my girlfriends family overseas, an experience I've been waiting for. I moved recently and lost my passport, but APVI and Johnny were able to get me on track. They helped me more than they know and I appreciate that companies still do professional business like this. He took my situation personally and assured me at every step.. I couldn't ask for more. Thanks APVI and most importantly, thank you Johnny for allowing me to take this trip! read more

Trip to Brazil bought and paid for but never realized visa needed. Worked with Gessica at APVI and she was amazing. Super helpful, organized and professional. From Reno got my passport to Atlanta and back with visa in a little over 2 days. Thanks again. Jim Sobiek read more

Quick to take your money. They don't take all of your details correctly. I had to have my 1 year passport replaced with a 10 year passport and after making me complete all the paperwork they called and told me that they don't offer that specific service. They did not even give me a full refund, instead deducted $100. read more

They are great. They delivered on every promise they made. I needed to get my passport expedited as I scheduled a last minute vacation to Cabo. I provided them all the documents and they kept me up to date during the entire process. I got my passport with time to spare. I was worried that because this was the first time ever applying that I wouldn't get it in time but they assured me that we had time and gave me step by step instructions on what documents I needed to provide. If you are in a time crunch don't go anywhere but these guys. They are simply the best! Thanks again to Michael, Ihab, Kiaann and the rest of the staff! read more

This is my second time using APVI and I had the exact same experience as my first, excellent! Prompt and great communications. I highly recommend using APVI. Thank you guys for helping me out and delivering my passport in time to leave for the trip! read more

I received my passport on the exact day I was promised. The staff was accessible and thorough. Every penny I spent was worth it. I made my trip, and had the piece of mind of having my passport being handled by people who clearly know what they're doing! I highly recommended APVI I know for a fact I would have missed my trip without their help! read more

Stay away , watch your money , it's a 2 people company. ... they charge my card ,they can't provide the service and refuse to give me a refund , 100 precent rip off , rood people scream about me over the phone and threat to share my info on line ...really ??? Some one need to say those people we leave in America.... and there are laws here , they can't charge me for a service they can't provide and more then that I have the right for a refund and compensation if they did not provide a thing , pls watch your money and stay away , just go to the post office or any other trustful place read more

SCAM ALERT!!!!!!! This company seems extremely legit but charges showed up a day later for almost $1000 for an "investment company" on my credit card. ABSOLUTE SCAM DO NOT USE THIS WEBSITE. read more

The absolute worst. Not sure where to begin. I needed a Brasil Visa 7 days before travel and did some research online to find the most reputable provider and landed on APVI. Everything upfront was fantastic in terms of direction and guidance. I followed everything to the T and I was informed I would receive my passport back and Visa that Friday before my Monday travel. Friday arrives and no passport. I received no phone calls/messages from APVI and left phone messages/emails and got nothing back in reply. Nevertheless I missed my trip, lost the full value of my business class ticket, and lost valuable business time/meetings. I heard nothing back from APVI until the following Monday when they informed me that someone had forgotten to give my passport to the delivery service, sorry. All I received was a $100.00 credit. Unbelievable. Yes, things happen, but communicating with your customers when they do, especially for such a critical item should be the rule, not the exception. Never Again. 1 star for finally getting my passport back. read more

I needed to renew my passport, and needed it done in a fast and timely manner, AVPI really helped me with the whole process! They are very, very fast and reliable I got my passport renewed in time and was able to fly out of the country, thank you AVPI!!! read more

5 days before I knew I had to travel international for work and my passport was invalid. APVI was helpful, easy to reach by phone for questions, and I got my passport the same date they promised. Glad I chose to go with them! It was a close one. Whew. read more

I can see that the reviews for APVI are either great or terrible. Here is another 5 Star review. We needed a Saudi visa on very short notice. Karim was professional and the right thing happened in a very short amount of time. Yes, you have to fill out the forms yourself (duh) and yes you pay an upcharge for services, but it's well worth it. Are they a 2 person company? Maybe they are, but that should not matter. I would use APVI again. read more

Johnny over at APVI Express is as good as it gets! He's honest, and caring about your needs and expectations. I'm leaving to go out of the country next week, and I waited a little too long to get all the materials I needed for my trip. Johnny was a HUGE help and got me ready for everything that I needed! I really appreciate the help! read more

Skeptical at first but seemed my best option for an expired passport discovered on the day before departure. Had to reschedule our flight but they did what they said. Submitted my paperwork on Wednesday and by 5 pm my passport was ready. Johnny and Karim were honest and helpful about the situation. read more

What a positive experience. Maybe it's just me, but usually I feel companies like this almost TRY to see how slow they can be in terms of response and just communication in general. That was certainly not the case here. And good thing, too. Especially when we're talking about passports. You know, the process that is known for taking a while. The last thing you need is a company that thinks they can take their sweet time! I realize they probably have a lot on their plate, but I want to feel like I'm a priority. And that's how I felt here. read more

I am very happy with my experience with APVI. It's nerve-wracking to give over your passport. They contacted me consistently throughout the process of adding more pages to my passport, to give me updates on the status. I ordered 3-4 business day service, sent out my passport on Thursday at 10 AM and got it back on Tuesday at 9 am. I will definitely use their services again. read more

This place is a rip-off. I called them before I placed my order to see if I had to appear anywhere in person before I got my passport and the guy said "no - you don't have to go anywhere in person, it's all done by us." So I placed my order and come to find out you DO have to go wait in line in person at the passport office in order to complete everything. Then, they would not give me a refund so I lost $400! Don't waste your money. Just go to the passport agency's website and fill out the paperwork yourself and go in person. If you need it expedited they can do it the same day. Save your money! read more

I used this service recently to order a passport when I realized I could not find mine only a week before I had to leave. I was worried about it being a scam, but I had a very pleasant experience with the company. I'll summarize. Pros: Fast service. They offer as fast as 24 hours, which is the service I used (although read below for a warning on this) Very easy to contact. I called them at least a dozen times to check on the process and see how the passport was coming along. You should definitely call them before giving them any money just to make sure they can process your order when you need it Takes care of everything for you. You just send them the materials, they go to the state department and apply for the passport, they send it back to you. Painless. They have a clear list (after you pay them) of what you need to send in and how to do it. It's very easy to follow the steps they list out. Cons: It's expensive. You pay them a fee on top of what you pay the state department. If you have time, you can start filling out the form and they may email you a discount code, but the expedited services are expensive and there's really no way around it. However, if you leave it to the last minute or lose your passport, that's just how it is. They don't tell you what you need to prepare as far as documents go until you pay them. I had looked at other services and the state department website and had an idea of what I would need, but you go in pretty blind until you pay them, after which they are very helpful. Timing. READ THIS. If you choose the rush order you MUST account for the time it will take to mail the materials to their office and the time it will take to mail them back. They need to receive your package from fedex by 8:30 AM or they will process it the next day, which can set you back a day in your plans. Then you need to wait for them to fedex it to you, so depending on the timing you could be looking at 3-4 days for the 24 hour service, which is the fastest they offer. Make sure you have enough cushion time. I live in DC and was able to deliver my package to their office, but it was still three days worth of time for the 24 hour service for me to give them my materials and get them back. I was sure to call them ahead of time and make sure they could process the order before my travel date, so if you're unsure I really recommend contacting them first. Related, you need to be aware that not only will you have to prepare the materials, but also get them packaged by a passport acceptance agent, which usually entails making an appointment at a usps office. Be prepared to spend some time contacting the office(s) in your area and making an appointment. Some are walk in, but you may need to wait around for a couple hours at these locations. Getting my application materials together meant I had to take a day off of work. Overall: Good service, got the job done when I needed it. Very clear and willing to keep in contact with me. But be very sure they can do what you need before you give them $100-$400 and make sure you have the time to dedicate to putting the application together. They came through for me and hopefully your process will be as smooth as mine was. read more

Excellent to work with. The rep walked us through every step and we got our passport delivered by the promise date 4 days later.

I needed a passport within the week and APVI delivered. I was very nervous and panic stricken, the wonderful staff at APVI was very patient and reassuring. They explained everything in detail and calmed me down. I highly recommend! read more

My company planned a last minute business trip for me to go to South Korea, and not having a passport, I had to acquire one within 5 days. I thought about trying to expedite the process with the state department, but I didn't have a full day to stand in line. I found APVI through google and decided to try this as a last minute solution. There was one issue with the application, but it was the fault of the acceptance agent at the US Post Office. APVI took the necessary steps to make sure that the issue wouldn't hinder my travel plans, and the customer service was great. I also really liked their automated email tracking which kept me informed of each step as it was completed. Thank you APVI! read more

We had a terrific experience with this service. We were obtaining a passport for a child and the situation was complicated. Suffice it to say that there were numerous factors such as court orders and name discrepancy problems (the child's name wasn't the same on his birth certificate as it was going to be on his passport since it had been changed legally since his birth). Even with all of this, this service was very prompt, sending us detailed directions for what was needed. Of course we still had to assemble all the necessary paperwork (court orders, etc) and bring it to the passport reviewing service. So they do their part, and you of course definitely have to do yours. But once we had everything together, took it to the passport reviewer and it was approved and given back to us in a sealed envelope, we returned it in the FEdEx overnight envelope they sent us. We had paid for the 5-9 day service and they were Even faster than promised!! They maintained contact at all times and gave us tracking numbers so we knew the status the whole time. They are definitely worth it and if I had to do it over we would most definitely use them again. We highly recommend if you or someone you love needs a passport quickly. read more
