Niles Township Government

Niles Township Government operates a passport acceptance facility at its administrative offices at 5255 Main Street in Skokie. This township-level acceptance agent is one of the more distinctive options in northern Cook County — township governments are less common passport venues than post offices or municipal halls, making this a useful alternative when appointment availability is tight elsewhere in Skokie.

The passport acceptance office is staffed by township clerk personnel and operates strictly by appointment. Hours have historically run on weekday morning and midday windows; applicants should verify current scheduling availability at nilestownshipgov.com or by calling (847) 673-9300. The office accepts first-time applications, child passport submissions, and replacement requests. Note that payment is typically accepted by check or money order only — bring the correct forms and fees to avoid rescheduling.

Niles Township covers a swath of northern Cook County that includes Skokie and neighboring communities. Applicants in the eastern portions of Skokie or arriving from Morton Grove, Lincolnwood, or Niles may find this Main Street address particularly well-located.

Payment by check or money order only — no cash or credit cards. The Chicago Passport Agency (101 Ida B. Wells Drive, downtown Chicago) is roughly 14 miles from this location and handles emergency same-week travel appointments. Explore all local options on the Skokie passport offices page.
