Passport processing times begin the day we receive an application at a passport agency or center, not on the day the customer applied for a passport. Mail times may vary across the country.

You can apply for a passport at the Cuba Township Office, and your passport will be mailed to you by the US Department of State. Call 847-381-1924 to make an appointment.

Passport hours are:
9:00 am to 3:00 pm Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. No Tuesday appointments.
