Travelers needing a United States passport for travel within two weeks for international travel or four weeks if a visa is required may visit the Chicago passport facility to obtain a passport quickly. Passports are issued on site only if your travel is within two days of your request, notes Sen. Dick Lugar's website, and obtaining a passport in 24 hours might not be possible in other situations. While there is no additional charge for an appointment at the passport facility, all applicants must complete the same application steps as other passport recipients
