GovPlus - GOV PLUS DID NOT HONOR MY REQUEST
Updated by user Apr 08, 2026

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with partial refund. SERVICE FEE WAS NIT REFUNDED. Trust your state government.

Original review Mar 22, 2026

I requested a birth record with GOVPLUS. They repeatedly gave me the runaround.

I reached out to my state vital record department, submitted a form and a payment. I repeatedly tried to reach GOVPLUS. They would not refund my money.

I have a document to prove the document did not come from GOVPLUS. I want my money.

Loss:

Pros:
  • No pros
Cons:

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Get your document from your state officials. GOVPLUS IS A SCAM. You can request your documents your self. This would avoid chat with their AI staff and waiting on hold for 2 hours whereas I have pics of my wait time. GOVPLUS should be banned taking personal information and money without not honoring your request.

GovPlus - Got $97 charge for no service, no receipt and fight to get full refund
Updated by user Jan 15, 2026

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with full refund. They wanted to me to continue where I left off.

I said no. Then they offered partial refund. I asked for full refund or dispute the charge, they said no need to contact the bank for dispute and did the full refund.

Time consuming and headache when they charged me for nothing, no receipt. Don't do business with them.

Original review updated Dec 30, 2025

Hello,

I used my phone to start passport renewal on Dec 21. It added some more non-sense charge on the way of my application; I just canceled it.

However, the charge $97 posted in my credit card on Dec 22. On Dec 23 I chatted to request the refund, none record found, Today Dec 30, they wanted to do $49 refund.

They behaved untrustworthy!!! Do it at travel.state.gov instead.

Cons:
  • Charge without service
  • No receipt

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Never do business with them.

You just charged me $119.88 on 4/20/26. I have not authorized, nor do you have the right to take money out of my account. I expect a phone call to speak about what this is, and you process processing a refund to my account immediately.

Cons:
  • Rip off

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Do not do it do not give them any money all these things that they do you can do for free yourself. They’re a rip off.

AI Highlights
  • The site looks official with popups.
  • A $97 fee is charged and TSA must be paid.
  • They help with the appointment, but you can do it yourself.
Updated by user Mar 31, 2026

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with full refund. I did not ask for a refund, but they gave one to me so I’m pretty impressed with that.

Original review Mar 31, 2026

Unfortunately, I got tricked by this website. First off, it seems official.

There are multiple pop-up windows as you go through the process, and you are given multiple options to upgrade. I'm so glad I didn't because the $97 fee is theirs. You still have to pay TSA. If you are not great with paperwork, I'd say this service might come in handy, but if you can do paperwork, do not use this service.

Yes, they help you with the appointment, but honestly, they are not doing anything you can't do.

Lesson learned on my part. Just want everyone to be aware of what they are buying into.

Loss:
$97
Pros:
  • Help with appt
Cons:
  • Website is deceiving they are not a government website

Preferred solution: I just want other people to be informed. I paid them $97 thinking that covered my tsa precheck fee, it does not

They took my money, didn't send me my birth certificate and then wouldn't even give me a full refund.

Redirected to this site and screwed out of money

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • The TSA page redirects to GOV+ and is misleading by design.
  • Do it yourself: apply, set the appointment, and avoid $97 plus the background-check fee.

Went to a TSA webpage, redirected to GOV+, which is misleading by itself, which is by design. Don't fall for this.

It is a crooked way to do business. You can do what they did by yourself with little to no effort. Your fee will be 97.00 to them for setting up an appointment at the sheriff's department for a background check, which you can do on your own.

Then you will pay them the fee for the background check. Just go fill out the application yourself, then set the appointment up and save yourself 100.

Loss:
$97
Pros:
  • No pros that i can see
Cons:
  • Con is you pay 97 for nothing

Preferred solution: Full refund

It was a terrible time. Trying to get through to people live people people.

It couldnt hardly speak English all I Want to do is get the Ninety seven dollar charge for renewal on my card.

There was a $62 upgrade charge that I did not want. I tried to cancel that one and keep the $92 one but nothing worked.
