Reporting U.S. Passport or Visa Fraud

 
The Department of State takes U.S. passport and visa fraud very seriously. We also want to ensure applicants do not fall victim to scams perpetrated by individuals falsely claiming to offer passport or visa services, or otherwise represent the U.S. government. If you are aware of fraud associated with a U.S. passport or visa application, or were yourself a victim of U.S. passport or visa fraud, there are a number of ways you can report that information, outlined below. When reporting fraud, be sure to include as much information as you have about the application in question (if there is one); that will help us ensure that the report is thoroughly assessed.
