No Appointment Scalping
Our Commitment Against Unethical Appointment Practices
Updated: January 1, 2025
WE WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR
GotAppt operates as a legitimate notification service and has zero involvement in appointment scalping practices.
WHAT WE DO NOT DO
We do not book appointment slots
We never access DPS booking systems to reserve appointments on behalf of users or for any other purpose.
We do not hold or reserve slots
We have no capability to hold appointments in queue or prevent others from booking available slots.
We do not resell appointments
We never engage in the buying and selling of appointment slots or charge fees beyond our transparent notification service.
We never block slots from the system
We do not interfere with DPS/DMV systems in any way that would prevent legitimate users from accessing appointments.
WHAT WE ACTUALLY DO
Monitor availability only
We continuously scan publicly available DPS/DMV websites to detect when appointment slots become available.
Send instant notifications
When a slot opens up that matches your criteria, we immediately send you an email or SMS alert.
Direct you to official websites
Our notifications include direct links to the official DPS website where you complete the booking yourself.
WHY APPOINTMENT SCALPING IS HARMFUL
Unethical and Often Illegal
Appointment scalping involves reserving government appointments with the intent to resell them for profit. This practice is unethical and may violate state laws regarding government services.
Creates Unfair Barriers
Scalpers artificially reduce appointment availability and force citizens to pay extra fees for services that should be freely accessible to all.
Exploits Vulnerable Citizens
People who urgently need appointments (for work, travel, or legal requirements) become victims of price gouging and exploitation.
HOW OUR SERVICE IS DIFFERENT
Ethical Notification Service

- • No booking or holding of appointments
- • No interference with official systems
- • Transparent pricing for notifications only
Unethical Scalping Practices
- • Books appointments to resell
- • Holds slots hostage for profit
- • Blocks others from fair access

YOU REMAIN IN COMPLETE CONTROL
Your Appointment, Your Choice
By using our service, you maintain full control over your appointment booking process:
- You receive notifications about available slots
- You decide whether to book the appointment
- You visit the official DPS website directly
- You complete the booking using your own information

Faster Awareness, Not Unfair Advantage
We simply help you see opportunities faster, similar to setting up alerts for job postings or flight deals. The actual booking remains entirely within the official system.
