All fees paid to an issuing authority by Passports Plus on your behalf are non-refundable.  In the event that a visa or passport application is submitted on your behalf and the request is rejected for any reason, Passports Plus will, at your request, make an additional attempt to secure the travel document.  Additional Passports Plus service fees will not be assessed in this situation but you will be required to pay any additional fees assessed by the issuing authority.  Orders cancelled prior to submission to the appropriate government agency will be assessed Passports Plus’s standard processing fees.

Payment of Passports Plus service fees and all anticipated consular or embassy charges are due at the time of ordering service, unless account facilities have been agreed in writing prior to order.  Passports Plus reserves the right to retain passports and documents until full payment is received. Passports Plus’s service fees are exclusive of any consular, embassy or administrative charges imposed in connection with securing the requested services and must be paid regardless of the issuance of the visa or passport.  Except where the Fast Track My Visa service is selected, Passports Plus service fees vary according to the number of business processing days available to procure the service,  beginning with the day all necessary and complete documents are received in our office, and conclude on the day prior to your specified need date.  Consulate closings and holidays are excluded.  When Fast Track My Visa is selected, Passports Plus will secure the fastest processing speed available at the consulate and recalculate the number of business processing days used.  Passports Plus’s service fees may change without notice.  A complete listing of Passports Plus service fees can be found on Service Directory page of Passports Plus’s website.

Where an Australian Electronic Visa (ETA) or US Electron System for Travel Authorizations (ESTA) has been requested, the fee paid to Passports Plus includes the processing of the ETA/ESTA visa only and does not include the cost of any appeals or additional services.  The cost of an ETA/ESTA application is non-refundable and should your application be refused, or an existing ETA/ESTA is found, you will not be issued a refund.

A credit card is required to secure a passport submission reservation.  Failure to cancel a reservation 48 hours prior to the appointment or failure to provide your documents in time for successful submission by Passports Plus will constitute a “no-show” and be assessed a $60 cancellation fee.
