  •  Use of local mass transit systems TDS embassy representatives use mass transit or walk to Embassies and Consulates Whenever possible reducing the use of carbon fossil fuels by taking direct flights.
  •  Reuse of your inbound shipping envelopes whenever possible as your file folder eliminating the need to purchase file folders for each new work order.
  •  We utilize fax to email technology allowing us to print only the pages we need, we do not print cover pages or pages within a fax or email not needed to complete your application.
