Second, CIBT reduces the risk of costly errors. Passport applications are notorious for minor mistakes—using the wrong ink, signing in the wrong place, or submitting an incorrect photo size. CIBT’s document-checking service reviews every item before submission. For first-time renewers or those with complicated circumstances (e.g., name changes due to marriage, damaged passports, or prior lost documents), this error-proofing is invaluable. A single rejection can add weeks to the process, whereas CIBT’s pre-screening aims for first-time acceptance.
