State Document

Terms of Service

Effective: April 1, 2026 · Last updated: October 5, 2026

Legal entity
State Document is a brand and trade name of STATELINE PROCESSING LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company. References to "State Document", "we", "us", or "our" in these Terms refer to STATELINE PROCESSING LLC.

1. Acceptance of these terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you and STATELINE PROCESSING LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company doing business as State Document ("State Document", "we", "us"). By creating an account, submitting an application, or using our services in any way, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use our service.

2. Description of services

State Document is a private, pay-per-use document-preparation platform. You pay once for a specific job: preparing your application for one of the U.S. travel or identity documents listed on our site. The platform guides you step by step, completes the government forms from your answers, checks your documents and photo, and gives you clear instructions for each remaining step. For passports and Social Security cards, you sign and submit the application yourself. For programs that enroll entirely online (such as Global Entry, CLEAR Plus, TSA PreCheck® renewal and travel visas), you authorize us to complete the agency's online enrollment with the information you provided, and the government fee is passed through at cost. Our service includes:

  • AI-assisted form preparation
  • Document review and validation (manual + AI)
  • Step-by-step instructions for each remaining step with the relevant government or partner agency
  • Your documents, instructions and application status in your account dashboard, plus customer support
  • For passports, optional courier tiers: your signed application is hand-carried to a passport agency

3. We are not the government

State Document (STATELINE PROCESSING LLC) is a private company. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the U.S. Department of State, Transportation Security Administration (TSA), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), or Alclear LLC (CLEAR). All government services we help with are also available directly from the official agency, often at lower or no service-fee cost. Our fee is for the service work we do — preparation, validation, submission guidance, and support.

4. Eligibility & accounts

You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) to create an account. Parents and legal guardians may submit applications for minor children using their own account.

You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately at support@statedocument.com if you suspect unauthorized access.

5. Your obligations

By using our service, you agree to:

  • Provide truthful, accurate, and complete information.
  • Submit only documents that are genuinely yours (or, for child applications, your dependent's).
  • Not submit forged, altered, or fraudulent documents. Submitting fraudulent documents to a government agency is a federal crime.
  • Respond to our requests for clarification or additional documents in a reasonable time.
  • Not use our service to violate any law, including immigration or export-control laws.
  • Not attempt to interfere with, reverse-engineer, or disrupt our service.

6. Fees & payment

Our pricing is published on our pricing page. Each application has two fee components:

  • Service fee: what you pay State Document for our work. Set by the tier you choose.
  • Government fee: what the relevant agency charges. Passed through at cost — we do not mark up government fees.

Payment is processed by our payment processor when you place your order. By providing payment information, you authorize us to charge your payment method for the total amount shown at checkout, including any optional add-ons or upsells you select.

For courier tiers, we may charge incidental costs (shipping, agency appointment fees, etc.) at cost; these will be itemized and disclosed before billing.

7. Refunds

Detailed terms are in our Refund Policy. In summary:

  • Within 24 hours of payment, you can cancel for any reason and we refund our service fee in full.
  • After 24 hours, our service fee is non-refundable, because the preparation work has been performed. You can still ask for a copy of your prepared paperwork, or credit toward a future application.
  • If we determine you are ineligible, we refund your service fee in full (the government fee may or may not be refundable, depending on whether the agency has been paid).
  • Government processing outcomes (approvals, denials, delays) are outside our control.
  • If we make a material error that causes a rejection, we will prepare and provide a corrected submission-ready application at no additional service-fee cost.

8. Service limitations

We cannot guarantee that the government will approve your application or process it on any particular timeline. Government processing times depend on staffing, system status, and policy decisions outside our control. The processing times listed on our processing times page are the agency's published estimates, not guarantees.

We may decline to provide services to you for any reason, including suspected fraud, prior policy violations, or our determination that we cannot reasonably help with your specific situation. If we decline before performing work, we refund any payment in full.

Our service is currently available to U.S. residents and U.S. citizens (or eligible permanent residents/lawful immigrants for relevant programs).

9. Intellectual property

The State Document website, software, content, branding, and trademarks are owned by STATELINE PROCESSING LLC and protected by intellectual-property law. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or reverse-engineer any part of our service without our written permission.

The data and documents you submit to us remain yours. By submitting them, you grant us a limited license to process them for the purpose of providing our service to you.

Government form names (DS-11, DS-82, etc.), agency names, and program marks (TSA PreCheck®, Global Entry, CLEAR®) are trademarks of their respective owners and are used here for identification only.

10. Disclaimer of warranties

OUR SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT OUR SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT ANY GOVERNMENT APPLICATION WILL BE APPROVED OR PROCESSED WITHIN ANY SPECIFIC TIMEFRAME.

11. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, STATE DOCUMENT AND ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND AFFILIATES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES — INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST TRAVEL OPPORTUNITIES, OR LOST DATA — ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF OUR SERVICE.

OUR TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM OUR SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (a) THE TOTAL FEES YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (b) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow these limitations; in those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless State Document from any claims, losses, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) arising from your violation of these Terms, your submission of false or fraudulent information, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

13. Dispute resolution

Before filing any formal claim, you agree to first contact us at legal@statedocument.com to attempt informal resolution. Most disputes can be resolved this way.

If informal resolution fails, you and State Document agree to resolve disputes through binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, in the State of Wyoming — except that either party may bring an individual action in small-claims court for matters within that court's jurisdiction.

Class-action waiver: you and State Document agree that disputes will be resolved on an individual basis only. You waive any right to bring or participate in a class, collective, or representative action.

You may opt out of arbitration by emailing legal@statedocument.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. The opt-out must include your name, account email, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration.

14. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any litigation not subject to arbitration will be filed exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the State of Wyoming, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

15. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify you by email and update the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of our service after the change constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
