How to Get a Passport in Chicago

Chicago has many options for obtaining a U.S. Passport. The Windy City is home to a U.S. State Department Passport office as well as several passport expediting agencies. If your needs require getting a passport within a 24-hour period, there is a service in the city where you may get one in a day. The fast service passport costs extra. Be sure to have all the needed documents prior to going to the office of your choice, as it will not issue a passport without all of the necessary papers and identification.
