Terms of Service

What this site provides

passportcalculator.com offers unofficial passport fee estimates, processing-time ranges, document checklists, and planning tools. We do not file passport applications, collect government fees, or provide legal advice. Always confirm amounts and requirements on travel.state.gov before you pay or travel.

Not a government site

passportcalculator.com is not affiliated with the U.S. Department of State, a passport agency, or any acceptance facility. Our name and tools are for planning only. Official forms and instructions come from the government.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the site for unlawful purposes or to harass others
• Scrape, overload, or attempt to break our servers or security
• Misrepresent our content as official government guidance
• Upload malware or attempt unauthorized access to our systems
• Use automated tools to abuse AI chat features or rate limits

We may block IP addresses or user agents that threaten site stability or violate these terms.

AI and interactive tools

Chat assistants and image tools give general guidance based on published rules and your inputs. They can be wrong or incomplete. Do not paste your full Social Security number, passport number, or other sensitive IDs into chat tools. You are responsible for what you submit and for verifying answers before signing government forms.

Advertising and affiliates

We may show ads through Google AdSense and link to third-party services. Ads help pay for hosting and maintenance. Sponsored links are labeled where required. We are not responsible for products or services sold by advertisers or affiliates after you leave our site.

Accuracy and updates

Fee and processing-time data come from published schedules and manual review. Government fees change. We show a last-updated date on indexable pages, but we do not guarantee every number is current at the moment you view a page.

Disclaimer of warranties

The site is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose or accuracy of estimates. See our full disclaimer.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, passportcalculator.com and its operators are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the site, including missed travel, rejected applications, or reliance on an estimate. Our total liability for any claim related to the site is limited to the amount you paid us to use the site (typically zero, because the calculator is free).

Intellectual property

Site text, design, and original tools are owned by passportcalculator.com unless otherwise noted. You may link to our pages. Do not copy large sections of content into competing calculators without permission. Government forms and official fee schedules are public domain or used for reference with links to the source.

Changes

We may change these terms or discontinue features. Material changes will be reflected by updating the effective date above. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state where the site operator is located, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes should first be raised by email so we can try to resolve them informally.
