Seems like a scam
I tried to start the process but was asked for $200+ to just move on in the app but passport renewals don’t cost that much, so I did not proceed with this app. Especially after looking at mostly AI seeming reviews….
Pleased with App
So much better than other ways
I hope it works like they say

Easy
Very easy to use
Beware.
Note: I haven’t used this app to renew a passport—I downloaded it purely to look through its features and write this review. Please don’t interpret this as a review of the service’s actual performance, but rather of its trustworthiness.
I came across this app through a random App Store ad and decided to check it out, expecting it might be a scam. I know Apple vets apps before listing them, but what I found still raised red flags.
For one, all the reviews are 5 stars, and many written ones show signs of being AI-generated (overly polished phrasing, very empty or generic praise, a weird mix of casual tone and unnatural formality, etc). For an app that handles sensitive personal data, this lack of authentic, verifiable feedback is concerning.
I looked into iVisa—the service this app is based on—and while it seems to be a legit company, it’s also heavily overpriced compared to renewing through the US government. The Trustpilot reviews are also a bit fishy, but I’ll have to set aside my cynicism for a second because I know Trustpilot is transparent.
The app is well-designed—it doesn’t look like a scam—but the Trustpilot badge on the home screen is weird. It’s either talking about a page for “FastPassport” (which doesn’t exist on TP), or is using the reviews for iVisa (which is a bit misleading, not to mention the rating is outdated).
TL;DR:
Skip this app and renew your passport directly through the official State Department site. It’s cheaper, safe, and not nearly as complicated as third-party services suggest. If you need your passport renewed fast, look for government-backed options. Convenience is not worth the risk to your personal information.
To the developers:
This isn’t meant as a hostile review (hence the 4 stars, not 1). If you can provide transparent proof of verified customer satisfaction, I’ll happily update or retract my concerns (though I’ll leave the original wording visible). Until then, I hope this review remains up and can help people make safe decisions.

I was optimistic about doing it this way and then disappointed that I couldn’t do it for a minor.
