Terms & Conditions
By using GovtClear, you agree to these terms. We've written them as clearly as possible — because confusing legal text defeats our entire mission.
Last updated: July 2025
Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using GovtClear (the "Site"), you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree to any part of these terms, you must not use the Site.
We reserve the right to update these terms at any time. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms. We will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page when we make changes.
Nature of Our Service
GovtClear provides informational content only. Specifically:
- We are a private, independent website — not a government agency, department, or official resource.
- We have no affiliation with the IRS, U.S. State Department, USCIS, UIDAI, the Government of India, UAE Federal Authority for Identity & Citizenship, or any other government body worldwide.
- Our guides are written to help people understand processes — they are not legal advice, tax advice, or immigration advice.
- We do not accept or process any government applications on your behalf.
- We cannot verify your identity or access any government database.
Accuracy & Currency of Information
Government processes change frequently. While we make every effort to keep our guides accurate and current:
- We do not guarantee that all information is complete, accurate, or up-to-date at the time you read it.
- Information on GovtClear may lag behind real-world changes to government procedures, fees, processing times, or eligibility requirements.
- You are responsible for verifying all information with the official government website before taking any action.
- Official sources always take precedence over GovtClear guides.
Every guide on GovtClear includes a link to the relevant official government source. Please use those links to confirm current requirements.
No Legal, Tax, or Professional Advice
Nothing on GovtClear constitutes legal advice, tax advice, immigration advice, or any other form of professional advice. The content is provided for general informational purposes only.
For advice specific to your situation, you should consult a licensed professional:
- Legal matters — consult a licensed attorney
