Drove from Cincinnati and left the same day with my passport! Just make sure you have an appointment and bring all your necessary paperwork. There are a ton of links that list everything. Follow the rules and you're good to go

Worst Employees Ever Always hire the laziest Workers If you don’t want to work then why you take the easiest job to be sitting down doing nothing Worst of the worst

I showed up without an appointment and was informed by security of the process needed to acquire one. Everyone was very helpful and I was able to secure an appointment and my passport in one day.

I have Asperger’s and as I was waiting in line, due to noise and bright lights, I started to get overwhelmed and shaking while crying. Dimitri approached me, to ask how he could help. He offered to assist. Then when came back, I was assisted by Ross and Riley. All 3 (on 9th floor passport agency) went beyond to accommodate my condition and I can’t thank them enough. I don’t control my body and it is very embarrassing so a huge thank you for these men assisting me.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Do you need appointment for passport I travel in 7days

Lourie Hawkins | Oct 17, 2021
Scott Gresham | Oct 17, 2021

Yes you need an appointment. They are not taking walk-ins at the Chicago location. I'm told that some of the others are. The appointments are available to book via phone at 12 AM two weeks before. It's an automated system that is hard to get into. There are groups on Facebook that can help point you in the right direction. It's what my wife did when she was struggling through this process. 7 days is a short time period, but there are a few options they lay out on their website for emergencies. Definitely join the Facebook groups, they will point you in the right direction.

nigel assee | Oct 10, 2022

If you can show a need like a prebooked flt or an emergency you can request an expedited passport... same day delivery to you. But you will have to show up to the appointment with all needed documents and photos along with a method of payment for the fee.

We have an appt to get my son an urgent passport. Once we turn in the paperwork does he need to be there to pickup the passport or can I pick it up for him?

Kathy McDermott | Sep 26, 2022
Rob williams | Sep 26, 2022

Yes you can pick up for him they will explain pick up to you at the appointment. If you child is an adult he will need to sign your pick up slip allowing you to pick up on his behalf. If he is a minor you will have no issue picking up for him without him.

How do I replace a broken passport card ?

Peter Cole | Sep 19, 2022
Rob williams | Sep 19, 2022

Form Ds-11, citizenship evidence, state or federal issued identification, and a a written statement explaining how the card was damaged signed and dated. Make an appointment at an acceptance facility and they will finalize the application. If you have urgent travel you can make an appointment to come to the Chicago passport agency but they are only seeing people with urgent travel and can only be seen by appointment

If you don't have urgent travel google "passport acceptance facility near me" the first link will show you the closet acceptance facility near you. Make and appointment fill out the form DS-11, and bring citizenship evidence (BC, naturalization certificate, citizen certificate, etc.) And valid state identification, and a 2x2 passport photo (many facilities can take photos but check before you go). If you have urgent travel you will need to call and make an appointment to be seen at the agency. At this time the passport agency is not taking walk-ins

In your case where you are traveling next day you should be eligible for same day pick up. Passports can be made in house same day.

Xiomara Ortiz | Aug 18, 2022
Rob williams | Aug 18, 2022

It depends, the agent you speak to decides. Due to the amount of appointments not all passports can be made same day at the agency. They will do there best to accommodate you but it's based on how far you traveled and when you are leaving. If it is possible to mail it to you before your trip, it will most likely be mailed.

Crystal Rose | Aug 18, 2022
Ayah Abdelhadi | Aug 18, 2022

No. You have to call the number for an appointment. If you don't have a family death emergency, you will have to wait for an appointment. When I called they didn't have an appointment for 2 weeks ahead. But bc we had a family death emergency, we received an apt 3 days before our flight. The people who work at this location were so kind, friendly, and helpful. In 2 days time, we had our new passport. Good luck to you!

You are not calling the agency itself you are calling a call center who can schedule appointments for emergencies, answer simple passport questions, and send emails to the agency if you have questions about a letter sent you for more information.

How long was the process

Venus Gray | Jun 19, 2022

It's an all day affair for the most part. Average wait time to be seen isn't long and after you apply and pay you can leave, but pick up for applicants that qualify for same day pick up pick up is between 2-4pm.

Rob williams | Apr 20, 2022

There a multiple parking garages located within a block of the agency. Please note they have large signs stating it's parking for immigration and the passport agency (same building), but the have no affiliation with the agency and you will pay a lot to park there. I suggest downloading spot hero or a different app that allows you to rent peoples parking spaces instead.

Daniel Koger | Oct 17, 2021
Billy V. | Oct 17, 2021

Appointments are only being taken through the online system and from my understanding, Chicago is currently only accepting 15 appointments a day right now for non emergency travel; and as stated from previous post, you will only get an appointment within 72 hours of your travel date and passport would need to be expired or close to it. Best bet is to complete the necessary forms and mail them in to their office. Processing I believe is at 12 weeks right now so you have time. Good luck!!

Jason Gramling | Oct 17, 2020
Farooq Usman | Oct 17, 2020

You can check travel.state.gov for specific country requirements on the validity of your passport to enter that country. A good rule of thumb is 6 months from your return to the United States. Some countries require less time. The reasoning is if you are stranded in a host country you still have a good travel document to return to the United States.
