# HelloGov

> HelloGov is an AI-powered passport expediting service that helps U.S. citizens get passports faster—in as little as 3-4 business days instead of the standard 6-10 weeks.

## What HelloGov Does

HelloGov is a U.S. Department of State–registered passport expeditor. The platform uses AI to guide users through passport applications, verify documents for errors before submission, and connect applicants with government-registered couriers who hand-carry documents to passport agencies.
