With continuing backlogs at passport offices
due to COVID-19 delays, citizens can use Gov2Go to receive a
passport within four to six weeks
Digital government solutions firm NIC Inc. has a quick and easy
solution for U.S. citizens eager to begin traveling abroad again:
Gov2Go, the personal assistant for government. Gov2Go features an
expedited passport service to help citizens get their documents
quickly and easily.
Gov2Go offers a four- to six-week turnaround on passport
renewals and name changes. Additional services such as new adult,
child and replacement passports will also be available soon.
Gov2Go rolled out the expedited passport solution in early 2020
in partnership with technology innovator RushMyPassport. Usage has
spiked in the last few weeks as individuals begin to plan
international travel.
Currently, Gov2Go’s expedited passport solution allows U.S.
citizens to select from a range of delivery options, from rushed
delivery within four to six weeks to standard delivery within 10 to
12 weeks. Pre-COVID-19, Gov2Go offered an even quicker turnaround
and could process a passport as quickly as 24 hours. Upon order
completion, users can easily track the status of their passport
order from Gov2Go. Fast processing times are expected to resume in
the near future as all agencies and centers are now processing
passports.
“With passport turnaround times longer than ever, we are excited
to offer an expedited solution through Gov2Go,” said Brian
Anderson, NIC Chief Technology Officer. “Now, citizens can renew a
passport and track where their passport is until the moment it
arrives at their door. This is just one more way Gov2Go helps
provide government services to people and businesses quickly and
easily.”
Gov2Go is used by 3 million people across the United States and
counting for time-saving transactions with government, such as
vehicle registration renewals, property and license tax reminders
and voter registration.
Most recently, Gov2Go also began providing citizen engagement,
assessment and scheduling for TourHealth, a rapid and secure
COVID-19 testing solution, causing spikes in users across Florida,
Kansas and South Carolina.
