OLATHE, Kan .– (BUSINESS WIRE) – Digital government solutions company NIC Inc. has a quick and easy solution for US citizens who want to start traveling abroad again: Gov2Go, the government’s personal assistant. Gov2Go features a quick passport service to help citizens get their documents quickly and easily.
Gov2Go offers a return of four to six weeks on passport renewals and name changes. Additional services such as new adult, child and replacement passports will also be available soon.
Gov2Go launched the accelerated passport solution in early 2020 in partnership with technology innovator RushMyPassport. Usage has skyrocketed in recent weeks as people have started planning international trips.
Currently, Gov2Go’s accelerated passport solution allows U.S. citizens to select a variety of delivery options, from rush delivery in four to six weeks to standard delivery in 10 to 12 weeks. Before COVID-19, Gov2Go offered an even faster return and could process a passport in 24 hours. After completing the order, users can easily track the status of their Gov2Go passport application. Rapid processing time is expected to resume in the near future, as all agencies and centers are now processing passports.
“With passport response times longer than ever, we are excited to offer a quick solution through Gov2Go,” said Brian Anderson, chief technology officer at NIC. “Now, citizens can renew a passport and track where their passport is until the moment it arrives at their door. This is just another way in which Gov2Go helps provide government services to people and companies quickly and easily. ”
Gov2Go is used by 3 million people in the United States and counts for time-saving transactions with the government, such as vehicle registration renewals, property tax and license reminders, and voter registration.
More recently, Gov2Go has also started to provide citizen engagement, assessment and scheduling for TourHealth, a fast and secure COVID-19 test solution, causing user spikes in Florida, Kansas and South Carolina.
