How a replacement runs in Chicago
An appearance in person at a Passport Acceptance Facility is required and a mandatory step of your passport order. After gathering the documents listed below you take them with you, appear in person at the facility, and get a sealed package.
Once you visit the Chicago office and have all the documents ready, you will pay the current government application amount plus the separate $35 acceptance fee at the facility. For an expedited adult passport book with optional 1–3 day return delivery, the Department of State portion is $216.87. Have a personal check, cashier's check or money order made payable to “US Department of State” for the current Department of State amount with you. The execution fee can be paid by debit card or cash.
The agent puts all of your documents, including your check and original documents, into a sealed package and hands it back to you. That package needs to be dropped at Suite 203 to start the process. Do not open it.
Reporting the passport as lost or stolen
- The DS-64 officially reports the old book and invalidates it, so it cannot be misused.
- It is filed together with the DS-11 replacement application, never on its own.
- Lost the book but hold a previously issued passport card? Include the card.
- Damaged book: bring it in with a signed statement explaining how it was damaged.
Sameday Passport & Visa Expedite Services checks both forms before you leave for the acceptance facility, so a missing signature or a blank field does not send you back to Suite 203 a second time.

Applying by mail
If you are processing your passport application with Sameday Passport & Visa Expedite Services by mail, fill out two Letters of Authorization and the service order form and send them along with the documents to Suite 203.
The in-person appearance at an acceptance facility still applies to a replacement, so a mailed application starts only once the sealed package reaches the Chicago office. Call (708) 360-7277 for the full mail-in instructions.
