Similar to other reports, I believed this was the official US Department of State place to renew my passport and that the fee charged was the actual passport renewal fee. The branding includes a photo of the US Capitol building, and the URL has the name USA TRAVEL DOCS, so very misleading. Also, the page asks you to choose the "US TRAVEL ONLINE APPLICATION" specific to your need. At the bottom, they indicate "Over 140,000 passports processed" - but they are not actually processing your passport or renewal but providing you a form so you can do it yourself. I was tricked into divulging my passport number, my name, address and social security number.

Website seemed legit, walked me thru process of filling out passport application, did not realize until the next day that it was not a government website. But that was after I paid the $89.00 fee and gave them sensitive information.

I searched for "renew passport" on Microsoft Bing. The first item to pop-up said "U.S. Passports Online." It had several lines to the search result with multiple links. Normally this type of search result is when something is clearly what you are looking for (such as searching "home depot" or "lowes" and the big box hardware stores come up). It said "ad" in fine print but I did not notice it since the result clearly looked like the U.S. government's website. I was happy to see we could now fill in our application online and pay for it online. Only later I realized, wait a minute, what about my old passport? Don't I need to mail that in? Why yes. I had typed in all of my personal identifiable information into text boxes to have them put it into a DS-82 form, a form that is quite easy to fill out/very straight forward and does not require "guided assistance." So now this company has all of my personal information. 2) I paid $108.95 which I thought was to renew the passport, but was simply for them to fill out my form for me. Something that takes 5 minutes to do. Even if this was a legitimate business, an acceptable fee for this would be maybe $10, it is certainly not worth $108.95. After I complained, I was refunded the money, but my personal information will still be sold for who knows how much profit on their end. Microsoft should be held just as liable and offer search results that reflect what we are looking for (they should not be allowed to prioritize a 3rd party paying them for an ad over the United States government, that is ridiculous and deceiving). The tactics used by US Passports Online was to attempt to portray themselves as the US government.
