📖 About this office
The Waukegan Township Supervisor's Office at 149 S Genesee Street offers passport acceptance services as a municipal option for residents who prefer a local government setting over a post office or courthouse. Waukegan Township encompasses a substantial portion of the city and surrounding unincorporated areas of Lake County, and the township government has long made passport acceptance part of its community services portfolio.
Appointments are required at this location. Call (847) 244-4900 to schedule. Office hours run Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., with Tuesday hours starting at 10:00 a.m. Applicants ages 16 and 17 must be accompanied by a parent presenting a valid photo ID. Passport photos can be taken on-site, and payment must be made by personal check or money order — credit cards and cash are not accepted for passport fees.
The township office is located on S Genesee Street, a main corridor through central Waukegan, placing it within easy reach of residential neighborhoods on both the north and south sides of the city. For applicants with straightforward schedules, the daytime-only hours make this an accessible local alternative to the downtown courthouse or post office.
💡 Good to know
Payment at Waukegan Township must be made by personal check or money order — bring two separate payments (one for the acceptance fee, one for the State Department fee). Teens aged 16 or 17 need only one parent present with valid ID.
