The Seattle Passport Agency opens at 8am, but they start letting people through security and up to…read morethe 6th floor a little early, which is great if you have the first appointment of the day. Appointments are now easy to book online, which makes planning more convenient. There are three parking options nearby, but street parking isn't really available or recommended given the busy surroundings. The staff were generally friendly, though I ran into a bit of frustration due to some rule changes that weren't clearly communicated on the official website. That kind of lack of transparency can throw off your timing, so it's something to be aware of. On the bright side, the pickup process was well-organized with a separate line, which made that part of the visit quick and smooth. Overall, not a bad experience, but double-check requirements beforehand to avoid surprises. JY review

We were heading to our trip to 6 different countries in Asia and needed a couple visa's to…read moredifferent countries such as China and Vietnam. Upon arriving, we were greeted by a lady that was able to answer some questions. The reason why I am giving a 2 star is lack of knowledge or response to some questions asked. I asked if we needed a Cambodia visa (in which you don't you can get it on arrival) and they answered that we did and that it had to go through the embassy. Another gentlemen also grumbled and said "you need advance notice a month and a half might not be enough". The pricing was also significantly higher than many other places that we decided to go to. We ended up going to Holiday China and we liked the experience there much more. Holiday China was honest with us and quoted us with great prices, was able to get our visa in a week, and was able to provide us detail about our trip. Meh, not that impressed mostly because of inaccurate information and pricing.

I'd advise going directly to the state department. (300 5th Ave) instead of this 3rd party. The…read morepeople I interacted with in the Seattle office were not up to speed on what the actual requirements were for renewing my passport, and cut off the transaction before completion, and they suggested I go directly to the state department. Which I did, and it took all of 20 minutes to get my passport renewed. They were stating I needed to get additional proof of identity before they could process my renewal (I of course didn't need this; the state department was very helpful and the list of things they said to bring in the confirmation email, was exactly what they needed to renew my passport.) The only reason I'm giving them 2 stars, is that they refunded my money so all I did was waste an hour. But, poor customer service in my opinion. Just go directly to the state department (all these guys do is help you fill out the application and send along to the state department anyway). If they are going to sell this service, they should at least be able to accurately tell you what to bring when you come in.

Travel Flex was incredible in meeting all my needs! I came to them with a rather complicated visa…read moresituation and had filled out the entire application wrong. For a nominal fee they redid my entire application and personally sent it to the Russian Embassy in DC. They told me it would likely take about 4-6 weeks to get my visa.

Their services don't come cheap and neither do the visas, but if you are looking for an agency that will take are of everything for you, they are the best option!!!

They asked a colleague in SF to hand deliver a passport/visa once when I made a mistake with a travel date.
