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

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.

Rob williams | Oct 17, 2020
Us citizenship (birth certificate, citizen certificate, naturalization certificate, etc.), Government issued identification (drivers license or state issued I'd cards), ds-11, photos, and fees. If it isn't an emergency (need within 2 weeks) you can apply at an acceptance facility (travel.state.gov will show you the closest locations to apply to you)

Hello, my daughter's application was put in 9 weeks ago and our travel is tomorrow the 12th, we have pushed travel 3 times with room response. We fly at 8 pm tomorrow, if I show up at 230pm can someone help me? I have already paid to expedite.
Eeman | Oct 18, 2019
Farooq Usman | Oct 18, 2019
Without knowing exactly what the issue is, its hard to say. The Chicago Agency can attempt to help you however. I would highly recommend you arrive prior to 12pm to give everyone, including yourself time to fix any potential issues.
You can renew your passport with a Ds82 form. Current processing times are 4 to 6 weeks routine, 2 to 3 expedited, up to same day based on urgent travel at the agency.
Depending on your immediate travel and visa requirements, yes.

To get a passport at the agency you must have an appointment. To get a passport for a child under 16 you need to show US citizenship (birth certificate, cit cert l, etc) and the parents listed on the BC. if one parent is unavailable please have form Ds-3053 Completed and notarized by the noj applying parent.
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.
It is entire dependant on need and date of travel. During your appointment you will be assigned one of these options based on need and current workload. We offer waiting service, 3pm will call same day 3pm 2 and 3 day later pick up and several mail out options
No, there are several pay to park garages surrounding the building, as well as street parking to the east and south of us. We are near all CTA train stops also.
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
Where i can book a appointment online i call every day and they never have appointments avalible and me and my cousin are gonna travel in a week
Jennifer Anglero | Sep 17, 2022
Edith Romo | Sep 17, 2022
You have to call to make an appointment and keep trying at different times of the day because spaces open as people cancel. Good luck
It is only by appointment. If you are having trouble getting an appointment your best bet is calling your congress person. They have a liaison with the department of state who can help set up an 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
Keep trying the number. Appointments can be difficult to get before travel. If you are still not able to get an appointment or the earliest appointment is after the date of travel call your congress person they can help get you in
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. Please make sure to bring an acceptable passport photo, state issued identification, and citizenship (passport, bc, naturalization certificate, Citizenship certificate, etc.). Even if you have a application in process bringing these documents will speed up the process of approving you application.
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.

You need an appointment or you will be turned away.
My son's passport application was received June 2nd. I paid for expedited service. Our flight is booked to leave in a week and I have not received his passport. I call, and there are no appointments available. What can I do?

Rob williams | Aug 18, 2022
Contact your congress person they should be able to help.

kathy trujillo | Aug 18, 2022
Robert Williams | Aug 18, 2022
You best bet is to call your congress person. They can help get you an appointment.
Will there be appointments available for a same day passport if I make the appointment on the 25th or 26th of July with my flight on the 27th? I don’t know if slots fill up for the appointments
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!
For passport renewal at Agency downtown do I need to bring in my Birth Certificate also? I saw we only need the payment, Application, passport book and passport photo.

Ram Cast | Jul 19, 2022
If you have your old passport no. But i would bring it just to be on the safe side. Good luck!

Bobby C. | Jul 19, 2022
If you have an appointment then yes you will be able to get your passport expedited that day $60 additional fee. But you must have an appointment no walk ins accepted
Her father will need to get the form notarize in his country That's what I had to do / If one parent/guardian cannot go with the child to apply for the passport, they can give permission by completing Form DS-3053 “Statement of Consent." You must submit the completed form with the child's passport application.
Will security allow me to enter the building for my appointment with a temporary (paper) ID? The temporary ID does have my photo on it. I lost my drivers license a few days ago and am still waiting on the replacement.
Caitlin Muller | Jul 19, 2022
Doug Zobel | Jul 19, 2022
They only asked for an appointment confirmation number. No ID to enter.
Hi! I have an appointment morning of my flight. How long will it take for me to have passports? I have to drive back to Indiana to try and catch my flight for that afternoon! Help, I've read there's times to pick up, so wasn't sure if those are set
Candy Capilla | Jun 19, 2022
Rob williams | Jun 19, 2022
It is a bare minimum of 2 hours to recieve the passport after it is taken and is paid for.
I am excited to read the reviews about the kind staff, however I have been on hold for over two hours and it still tells me my call wait will be over 2.5 hours. Are they even open? I really want to just drive down there and just walk in ...
Lynn Clarke | Jun 19, 2022
Rob williams | Jun 19, 2022
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
Rob williams | 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.

Angie Mejia | May 20, 2022
Rob williams | May 20, 2022
No fee. You can pay with card, check or cash. Cash must be exact no change is given and no overpayment will be taken.
One question. If, I already have the photos they require for the passport. It is necessary to take my son to the appointment? he is 1 year and 7 months old.
Verónica González | May 20, 2022
Rob williams | May 20, 2022
If you are applying for a passport for your son, yes he must be there. All first time applicants, or applicants that must use the form DS-11, must come in person.
Yes it is opened week days but only buy appointment as of right now.

Parking near by??
Suzi Quall | Apr 20, 2022
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.

My passport has expired and my name on passport is my first name, middle name (which I don' use any more) and my current last name. I go by my first name, maiden name (initial) and current last name. Does my passport have to match my DL/ State ID
kkwjohnson5412 | Mar 21, 2022
Rob williams | Jun 19, 2022
If you do a ds-82 your name will be exactly as it shows on your previous passport. If you would like to change your name you will need to apply on a ds-11, but your name will need to match your ID
I have called the number to understand what address i should submit my DS86. There is an IDA B Wells physical address and a mailing address but that one is in VA. Which one should i use to send the DS86
Tammy Gromacki | Mar 21, 2022
Rob williams | Mar 21, 2022
Mail the application to the address on the application. If you have urgent travel make an appointment and physically come into the agency.
Once I have appointment and all documents are in order, do I get passport same day?
susan handler | Mar 21, 2022
Rob williams | Mar 21, 2022
Depends on how far you live and when you are traveling. A passport can be made the same day, but same day pick up is for applicants that live far away or traveling the next day.
Is it possible to get a passport same day or within 2 weeks? My passport expired.
toddhs | Feb 19, 2022
Gayle Keck | Feb 19, 2022
Yes, but you need to make an appointment within 2 days of your flight and proof of your flight. Good luck!
At this time, you need to make an appointment by phone. You won't even get into the building without an appointment. You can also apply by mail if you're not in a hurry.
No need to be nervous. You'll have your passport the same day. You will have to wait almost all day for your passport so after you turn in your forms, relax. Grab a bite, catch a movie .
Can someone else pick up my passport if the agency asked me to return tomorrow at 2pm?
Juanita Aguirre | Nov 21, 2021
Rob williams | Nov 21, 2021
Yes. They will give you a pick up slip on that pick up slip you will print your name them print the name of the person who is picking up and then you sign and date it. The person must be over 18 and have valid ID

Emily Hirn | Oct 17, 2021
Jade Adomako | Oct 17, 2021
Yes! I had the appointment time they make you come back around 2 for pick up!
Hi Nancy, no. You can't get in without an appointment in Chicago. Some of the other Passport Agencies are taking walk ins, but not Chicago.
I'd advise you to join the group on Facebook called "Passport Appointments" because it's a wealth of information on how to get the appointment to update your passport.
If you are in need of emergency service, I would contact your Senator and ask for assistance. Providing you have all your documents necessary, you could obtain an appointment very quickly.
I waiting for my passport almost 4 weeks I don't know what's happening how long do I need to wait

Currently, they will not see any unless you are enable to schedule an appointment. Once, you get your appointment, they will take care of you. The staff were great and very professional.
Is it a guarantee that if you come to Chicago in person for a 1st time Passport you will be able to obtain it that day? Is there a time limit? Is there an extra cost?
Crystal Cheadle | Oct 17, 2021
Adrienne Grimes | Oct 17, 2021
You have to have an appointment and as long as you don't have a warrant, owe child support or have any legal issues you shouldn't have a problem obtaining a passport. It pretty simple and quick.
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!!
Why does Chicago passport agency not allow walk-ins for emergency passports or renewal like other state facilities

They are still in a shut down state due to the pandemic. They are trying to reopen fully but it will take time.
Is there a number to call for emergencies. I need my passport in a few days and I can't get a hold of anyone.
Anthony Sensenig | Oct 17, 2021
James Farmer | Oct 17, 2021
There is a way to get it in a few days but you must be in a medical emergency situation and it is still all up to the passport office if they would accept the appointment. You can try calling your congressional office and see if they can help you further.
Is there any other number to reach this place? The number that is with this place seems to always be busy.
Anthony Sensenig | Oct 17, 2021
James Farmer | Oct 17, 2021
There are not any other numbers to reach this place. You will have to try and schedule an appointment

Fatouma Ibrahima | Oct 17, 2021
You will need an appointment. They will not let in without one. So try to call and get an appointment
You can go to the website for emergency passports and set an appointment but it must be within 7 days of travel. Set your appointment at midnight for best chance of getting one. You will get passport same day.
You have to phone a government friend Mike. If you know someone in governments you need to ask them to get your name on that list at the front door. That's the only way right now. Good luck. Also I was told they release canceled appointments at midnight

Yeah no appointments for months. Your only choice is to have a family member or friend in government that can get you an appointment. Good luck.
Go to the website and call the number. I believe in order to schedule an appointment you have to have a scheduled trip and you can only call up to 2 weeks before and hour appointment wont be until either 3 days before or day befor.

I had an apt at another agency, but apparently it was canceled without anyone notifying me. I am 2 weeks out from my trip and it says no appointments available. I already have my photo, forms, and proof of travel ready to go. ANY chance of walk in??
Yes your passport can be renewed or issued same day, but you have to make an appointment before showing up . You have to have an emergency reason to get the appointment. They are very helpful when you call.

Bryan Kuhn | Oct 17, 2020
Farooq Usman | Oct 17, 2020
The Chicago Passport Agency only issues U. S. passports to U.S. Citizens. We are not immigration, though we are in the same building. She should contact the Ecuadorian Embassy in order to facilitate a new Ecuadorian passport. To enter the United States she will need a valid Ecuadorian passport and green card.
I want apply for new passports first time for me and my kids and i changed my last name letters, do i have to apply my new last name for my kids in application or l leave it same in green card,and how long time to get my our passports.

Farooq Usman | Oct 17, 2020
Passport applications are significantly delayed but are being processed. Travel.state.gov has the most updated time tables. We will require at time of application any name change documents. If your children's names have changed we require a certified court document stating the name change.

Sonia Martin | Oct 17, 2020
There are options for emergency/expedited passport. I believe that it is if you are within 2 weeks of travel for a 60$ fee. Standard time is 6-8 weeks. This is accurate as of Sept 2019. I had to get an expedited passport at that time.
Can you apply for a passport in Chicago if you live in another town state ect
Cheryl Collins | Oct 17, 2020
Sonia Martin | Oct 17, 2020
You can apply in any state in the country whether resident or not but there will be one additional ID requirement. Not sure what ID but you can google...what documents are required for a passport from out of state.
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.
You can walk in...there are 2 lines. 1 for people with appointments and 1 for walk-ins. Just be prepared to wait longer.

Alfonso Ortiz | Oct 17, 2020
Rob williams | Oct 17, 2020
That depends on your travel date. If there is time to mail it to you, the agency will mail it. If not you will be set up with a pick up time within 3 days(could be same day depending on date of travel) Do to the amount of applicants same day service is not always a feasible option for the agency.
I have a scheduled appointment for 8:30a.m. How long can I anticipate being at the agency for?
Anne Day | Oct 17, 2020
Rob williams | Oct 17, 2020
Having an appointment gets you seen the fastest, but it is difficult to say until you apply. If you have any type issues with your documents you will need to see a specialist and that can make wait times longer

Generally most airlines and nations require 6 months validity on a passport from the return date of travel. Please visit travel.state.gov or the website of the embassy of the nation being traveled to for the most up to date information.

I need to leave country for for kids relative is dying.need to go immediately.how do I get same day passport
Melanie Pennington | Oct 18, 2018
Latonya Coleman | Oct 18, 2018
You cannot get same day passport, but you can get an expedited passport if traveling within the next two weeks. There's a background check, and other security checks they must run before giving passports. Make sure your application is properly filled out and you have all the required documents and the process will go smoothly. Hope this helps
For Saturday, September 15, the open passport processing, will you be taking photos or do we need to bring a photo?
Kimberle Hall | Oct 18, 2018
Latonya Coleman | Oct 18, 2018
I don't know if they are open on Saturdays. You'll probably have to go to your local post office if you're doing business on a Saturday. But it's cheaper to take your own photo. Be sure to read their rules and guidelines regarding photos.

At the agency depending on need we can issue same day with proof of immediate travel.
So since I decided to get my passport mailed instead of going to pick it up, does the 3-5 days until it gets to my house includes the processing of you guys making the passport too? Also do you think my passport will arrive before my travel date?
MyMy 13 | Oct 18, 2018
Farooq Usman | Oct 18, 2018
You can track your passport by calling our 877 number or by going to travel.state.gov it does not include the processing. The agent at our office discussed your travel date before you made the decision. Our goal is no missed trips. If. You do not recieve it in time for travel come back into our agency and we can reissue same day. Hope this helps
We usually discuss your mailing options to you before you leave. It you paid for next day mail out you should have it in one to two business days. If you elected for free priority mail is can take 3 to 5 business days depending on your location. Please call us to help track your passport.
