GOV+ Leaves Government Application Struggles Behind, Welcoming New Features and an Era of Convenience

GOV+, an online service enabling seamless digital government applications, released new features that elevate its cutting-edge platform and enhance customer experience. GOV+, founded by Guy Lelouch and his business partner Katie D’Amore, has been improving document application reality, streamlining the process, and reducing the time and money spent in governmental institutions.

Picture this: you’re preparing for a holiday in the warm Caribbean, historical Europe, or exotic parts of Asia. That holiday, the culmination of a whole year's worth of hard work and dedication, depends on one document—a passport. Excited, you enter a government building, fill in all necessary documents, pay significant money, and wait… You wait a while longer, losing patience and becoming more and more anxious as the date you’ve been dreaming of the entire year approaches. Worst case scenario? The government takes longer to process your document, and your bucket list trip gets canceled. If that ever happened to you, maybe you will find solace in numbers—a staggering one in three passport applicants report longer processing times than initially promised.

In recent years, the number of people owning a valid US passport has surged tremendously, reaching 160.7 million as of September 2023. That represents a 5.8% increase from 2022 and a 36.8% increase from 2013. The high demand for passports highlights the urgent need for modern-day solutions and enhancements that simplify the application process for US citizens seeking to obtain documents.

Answering the desperate calls of Americans grappling with governmental challenges, Guy Lelouch designed GOV+, a digital solutions company that leverages highly developed technology to alleviate the challenges of document applications. The user-friendly platform helps individuals with time-consuming document files by automating repetitive tasks while ensuring paramount safety and document protection.

In addition to simplifying strenuous passport renewals or applications, GOV+ accommodates the needs of those wishing to replace or update Social Security Cards, fill Federal or State taxes, replace birth certificates, obtain or renew a TSA PreCheck®, change a personal or business address, and retrieve or update the Employer Identification Number (EIN). That many-faceted approach stands as a testament to Guy’s commitment to uncompromised convenience for all Americans.

Some standout features include personalized questionnaires that require users to answer only these questions that relate to specific situations, done-for-you PDFs that eradicate the need for manually filling out PDFs, and application pre-completion; with that feature, GOV+ promises a smooth user experience, minimizing the time individuals spend on the app the more forms they fill out.

Leveraging modern-day tech capabilities, Guy developed a platform that merges all the wonders of the 21st century with real-time functionality. For instance, thanks to its mobile ID upload option, GOV+ empowers users to scan ID pictures with their phone camera, automatically formatting them so they meet government requirements and eliminating the need to spend money to get professional photos.

Extending its positive impact further, GOV+ enables hassle-free electronic signatures that securely sign forms and documents from the convenience of one’s home. Additionally, the platform enables online payments through Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) Pay or Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Pay, as well as notarizing documents online, at any time and from anywhere in the world.

To elevate customer experience and provide top-notch services that leave no stone unturned, Guy introduced new GOV+ features. Automatic renewal, which tracks the expiration date of all documents and renews them on behalf of users, ensuring no one is left without a necessary document, is just one of the new additions. Moreover, GOV+ introduced document insurance services, strengthened identity protection and safety, and enabled swift name-changing.

What sparked from Guy’s realization—a clear void in the industry that begged to be filled—turned into a trusted and respected service used nationwide. As of date, GOV+ has eliminated over 170,000 unnecessary trips to governmental buildings and saved 1.4 million hours. Since its establishment, GOV+ has been dedicated to providing the highest quality of service to its customers. Attesting to that commitment, one user says, “I used GOV+ this evening for the first time to apply for a renewal of my TSA. I made a spelling error and was unsure how to correct it. Drew from GOV+ kindly assisted me, corrected the error, and sent an email reassuring me that the correction had been made.”

Looking into the future, Guy Lelouch hopes to introduce new features that blend seamlessly with the ever-evolving needs of customers. He says, “GOV+ was created as a technology platform, and it’s extremely rewarding to see it has become what I had always hoped it would. Ultimately, as long as users can save their time and energy, I’ve achieved what I had set out to do.”
