Beware of Scam Passport sites
- Only use TRAVEL.STATE.GOV (https://travel.state.gov/content/travel.html), the official site for up-to-date passport information and travel advisories.
- If a site directs you to pay for a form online, offers to fill the form for you, or promises you passport insurance, it is most likely not legitimate
