To be honest I had always hired a service that handles the whole process for you, they are very common in Costa Rica. They are always trying to scare you and it´s expensive. This time I decided to do it by myself, so I was a little hesitant, but I felt very guided and it felt friendly and helpful. Even in a moment, I got a little lost, but I felt that I could ask for help.

Passport renewal - DON'T USE

Passport renewal... Never received and we were charged twice. We've requested a refund. We've also asked for them to destroy all information but I doubt that will happen.

We hear your concern, and we understand how worrying it is to not receive your passport while also dealing with unexpected charges.

To properly assess this, we would need to review your transaction details. Sometimes, multiple charges may be linked to separate submissions or pending authorizations. However, if a duplicate charge is confirmed, we ensure that it is refunded accordingly.

We also want to reassure you that data deletion requests are handled following established privacy protocols once received and verified.

We’d be more than willing to work through this with you. Please provide your purchase information so we can investigate your case and assist you accordingly.

We understand how concerning it must have been to see duplicate charges and not receive the timely response you were expecting.

After reviewing your case, we’ve identified the transaction in question and have already taken steps to address it accordingly. A full update, including the resolution, has been shared with you via email.

While we strive to respond promptly, there may be instances where response times are longer than expected. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and invite you to review the email we’ve sent for the complete update.

Update: I am happy to report that the processing time was closer to the short end of the estimate (approx 2 weeks). Thanks for the relief, and the compensation.😊 i'm happy with the final results.

There was no up front statement that this was an outside service. The fee stated was for the service, not including additional fees and the additional cost of the passport itself. I ended up spending twice the amount I had budgeted.
Also, I assumed when my information was accepted and was told it was being processed, that it was being processed. No... they waited 10 business days to begin processing. The estimated shipping date was 6 days after my scheduled departure.
I did call 3 weeks in advance of departure to check the status. I was happy to be told it was in my mailbox. It was! Reduced my stress level...

Hello Deborah,

Thank you for your feedback. We understand your concerns regarding the cost and timing of your application.

GovAssist is a private, third-party service, and our fee covers application review and support. Government fees for the passport itself are separate, and this distinction is disclosed throughout the process, including before checkout and within the required Third-Party Authorization.

Regarding the delay, we acknowledge that your application was not submitted as quickly as expected, and we apologize for that. While processing times can vary depending on document review and verification, we understand how important timing is, especially with upcoming travel.

We’re glad your passport arrived in time and helped ease your concerns. If you need any further clarification or assistance, our support team remains available. Based on the information available, we consider this matter addressed, though you are welcome to follow up with any additional questions.
