Obviously. But you're talking about a website, and that's what people would be using now, so that can't claim sixty plus years of success. Besides, how did they do it before the internet? It can't have been easy or very legal, so things have probably changed a lot since then. Apart from anything else, the Single Market/European Union now makes it a lot easier to transition between certain countries, for one thing. Lots of things existed before the internet, but claiming they had success then (pre-internet) and adding that to their success in a totally different media (internet) is not being honest, I feel. How long has the website been going? What's the legal issue here? Are they sanctioned by any government body, because to my knowledge the only entity who can legally issue passports in any country is that country's passport office, which is part of the government.

I don't know how they operated before the internet. Probably with a brick and mortar office, like any other organization. They have an address listed in Washington D.C. And easy travel between European countries is a good thing. I was sharing this as an option for people whom have been denied a passport from their government. A way to bypass unjust restrictions. The link to their website is in my post. Delve as deep as you'd like, but your mind is clearly already made up.

It absolutely is. If someone were to ask me if they should use this service, with the minimal proof of acceptance you've provided here (and made no attempt to answer my question as to what percentage of overall applications that represents, or to find out) then I would say no, stay the hell away. No way to know if it's legal, secure or even dangerous to give your details to these people. You frankly would have to be stupid to try this, in my opinion.

Helping someone to my personal details, sure. I still have the odd brain cell left, you know. Now, let me go back to this ... computer thing ... I'm ... poking at this board with ... um... flat white things ... keys ... yeah that's it ... keys ... let me go back to this ... board with keys ... what was I saying? Is it bedtime yet? Who are you? Where am I?
