Unless otherwise noted, advertising for products and services offered by the government is only allowed directly from the government, including, but not limited to: tax forms, Passport, Visa, ESTA, birth certificate, change of address, license/registration renewal, carte grise, food stamps/emergency funding, and social security.
- For clarity, services that are not provided by the government such as legal services/law firms, and accounting such as end-to-end tax preparation services/software are generally permitted.
Advertisers may not falsely pose as or claim affiliation with a government agency.
Websites cannot use methods that make their site appear to be the government through the use of items such as official colors, seals, logos, domain names, etc.
