    I made an appointment here to process my passport application and I was very pleasantly surprised by how organized and clean the office was. But I was the most impressed by the young lady that helped me, Olivia. She was very professional and very polite and very pleasant to deal with. They charge a $35 fee to process your passport, but I was willing to pay it, knowing that I was going to be processed correctly.

    Easy check in

    Went in on a Friday with 0800 appointment. Got there around 0805 (a little confusing where to park or where the building is if not paying attention) left at 0815! Got everything in hand filled application, cashiers check and photo, paid $37 for processing fee. Awesome place and great service, wish I had known about this place sooner.

    Walk in notice, no walk ins after 1:00 pm pst

    Fantastic service. Pro tip: do your paperwork before you come to the location as is suggested! This will expedite your processing, if you have your forms filled out and the necessary copies all you have to do is sign, get a pic and be on your way. When people show up without the required documents or filling out paperwork it bottlenecks the entire process. The staff are incredible and super efficient. Everyone working here was so nice and they are very thorough with the paperwork. Note: parking is tough but not impossible. Also, appointments are best to get in and out quick. No walk ins are allowed after 1pm.

    Passport Now just saved my arse and it didn't cost me a dime. How great is that? All started cpl…read moredays ago when I was checking into my intentional flight and the airline system wouldn't let me due to 'passport validity'. My passport expires in 5 months and me being an idiot didn't know about most countries 6 months minimum rule. So it's a Sunday and I'm freakin' out and I come across Passport Now and gave them a call. Went to voicemail. I received a text right away to which I replied asking someone to call me back asap. Shortly later I get a call back from Larry, who turned out to be a Godsend. I explained to him my situation and Larry was honest and said the quickest turnaround time they could do for me was a cpl days which wouldn't work for me since my flight was Monday night. So Larry advised me and gave some suggestions that I could do myself to try to get a new passport by the next day. Long story short, everything Larry suggested was spot on. Not gonna lie, it was still pretty stressful naturally but I was able to get a new passport by Monday afternoon and make my international flight later in the evening. I am going to recommend Passport Now to any friends that need their services, They are top notch and truly care about helping people out.

    It's pretty scary to need to obtain a VISA. We needed on for China. I read on various sites we…read moredidn't need one, but as it is with the internet, they were incorrect/didn't explain the limiting restricts well. We worked with Passport Now and everything was handled with the utmost information. Communications were great, they handled all my questions quickly and in a manner I could understand and feel confident I went with the right company. I can easily HIGHLY recommend using Passport Now for your future travel needs. You won't be disappointed.

I'm very kind hearted so I would go in get a package or two and give her $20 for extra thinking she deserved more. I did this without receiving packages at times just being kind. Had a package that was supposed to be delivered but when I arrived, no package. Gave her $20 upon leaving without picking up a package. Gave her extra at sign up for helping me. Just say I'm a giver I love helping people out even when they didn't deserve it. Moral of the story is I'd passed to her at least $80 more than I had to showing kindness. But this woman didn't turn down one cent and then had the audacity to charge me for extra packages not realizing it's a new month, fraudulently! After 4 extra packages she charges a fee. I didn't get 4 packages in the time frame she decided to charge me for after her greed has already had $80 more than she earned given to her from me, just showing support and being authentically kind. If I could get a refund I'd get the hell away from this kind of person in which is a greedy individual. KARMA don't care who you are. God knows my intentions and so does he know hers. I'd suggest to stay away from this place she appears nice but one of the greediest people I've ever seen. Can't wait till I don't have to use her services but be ware of undercover smiles that's nothing but a greedy individual just waiting to rip you off in some kind of way. STAY AWAY FROM HERE MY PEOPLE, she is crooked! ASF!! Lesson learned! However I HAVE DATES OF EVERY DELIVERY AND THERE IS NOT ONCE IVE BEEN OVERLIMIT. Some packages were small enough for the mailbox but to get over they don't see the inside of that box. I got receipts of her fraudulent charges because some packages were lost and she never received those but some how I got an overage when the delivery date shows what day and time delivered. I m looking into filing a complaint cos you don't cheat your customers. This is mail so I will do my research to see my next steps cos I don't appreciate getting ripped off cos I stopped giving money when packages started missing and your concern it wasn't your problem, WOW! lol
