Travel Document Systems Incorporated

We have now used TDS twice for a trip to Mozambique and used their rush service to great success. Each time I called, they were great at answering my questions and we received our documents back within a week (we are located in Los Angeles). I would recommend this service to anyone who is looking for a reliable Visa service.

My experience with TDS has been extremely poor. They mailed me someone else’s passport by mistake. Fortunately, I called them up and returned that passport to TDS straightaway.
TDS also takes visa applications that they are not eligible to represent. For example, TDS charged me $ 300 for a Canadian visa application, and then informed me that TDS is not eligible to represent me and that I had to apply online. But TDS did not reimburse the amount they charged me, including the visa application fee which the consulate never charged.

I missed my flight to India because they messed up the visa. Very very unhappy

So after finally booking our Rio trip, I wasn’t sure if my prior visa was still good (as now they last ten years, for multiple entries), or not, and my boyfriend needed a visa regardless. I’d forgotten how long it takes for a Brazilian visa to go through, and with flights and lodging booked, we needed to get them ASAP (along with leaving town prior to Rio, so needing them even quicker).
We called many places around town to see how much they would be, as I didn’t want to tackle going to the embassy ourselves, should something go awry. TDS told us it would take around 5 days, without needing expedited service, and were very reasonably priced on top of the embassy fee (which is a flat rate, no matter who you use, or if you go yourselves), $ 60 each. Along with that, our printer wasn’t working, so we asked if we could fill out the app there, print it, and also make copies of our drivers licenses, all of which they let us do, free of charge.
They even went so far as to try to waive the credit card processing fee for payment (as we didn’t think to bring checks, and there’s a fee to use ccs) — although not sure if that worked or not (but regardless, the effort to waive it alone was impressive and generous!).
After that, the visas took literally half the time we thought they would, filled out our apps Tuesday, and received a call on Friday that the visas and passports were ready for pick up. Double checked the visas to ensure everything looked ok (does, so hopefully we didnt miss something!) — highly, highly recommended!

This place did as they said, 5 – 7 days we had my daughters passport. Just in time as we were leaving for vacation within 10 days. I researched a lot of places online and narrowed it down to 2. This place got the green light as I saw a good review on another site. Great service, highly recommend …

I can’t believe no one has reviewed this place yet.
Expedited passport renewals … when you need this service, you REALLY need it.
You’ve been planning a trip for months, and the last thing you check is your passport … and discover it’s expired. And then a panic bomb goes off in your body.
Fortunately, a friend referred me to TDS. The experience was perfect. That’s all you need to know.
Travel Document Systems provides other services as well, but they really came through when I needed my passport renewed quickly. Well worth the cost ($ 227 for 5 – 7 business day processing).
Thank you, TDS, for saving my sanity and my trip!
