Checked against the official pages on 22 October 2026. How we check.

The Consulate General of Ukraine in Chicago, at 10 East Huron Street, Chicago, in the Near North Side, serves eleven Midwestern and Plains states, from Michigan to the Dakotas (source, in Ukrainian).

Its latest mobile session was in Minnetonka, Minnesota, on 17 October 2026 and the following day, and it lists sessions for Michigan and Illinois with no date yet (source, in Ukrainian).

How to book an appointment at the Ukrainian Consulate General in Chicago

Book in the e-Consul booking system. From age 18 each applicant books for themselves; a parent books a child under 18 as a dependant (source, in Ukrainian).

New slots appear every weekday morning, Chicago time, and the consulate says it no longer manages the waiting list or helps with bookings: the system works on its own.

Chicago’s contact page, first published in 2013, still names www.uacc.us as the website for booking a passport appointment; its appointments page uses the e-Consul booking system (sources: 1 in Ukrainian, 2 in Ukrainian).

Chicago takes a money order or a cashier’s check made out to the Consulate General of Ukraine in Chicago; for a passport it is $130 from age 16 (source, in Ukrainian).

How to cancel an appointment at the Ukrainian Consulate General in Chicago

Confirm the booking in your e-Consul account 14 days before the visit; if you do not, it is canceled and passed to the waiting list. Cancel in the same account, and do it early, as the consulate asks (source, in Ukrainian).

Getting to the Ukrainian Consulate General in Chicago

The consulate is on East Huron Street, just east of State Street, in the Near North Side. The Chicago station of the Red Line is a short walk away. One of the reviews below adds a practical point: the door does not open from the inside, so ask someone to let you out.

It was crowded, but the processing was fast and the staff understood what we needed. The door does not open from the inside, so ask someone to open it.

I waited a long time for my appointment, and when I arrived I was told it had been canceled, with no notice to me.

Reviews read on 22 October 2026 and rewritten in our words; the dates and opinions in them are the reviewers’ own. The full set is on the office’s Google listing.

That cancellation fits the rule explained above, under canceling: a booking that is not confirmed in time is dropped and passed to the waiting list (source, in Ukrainian).

Opening hours of the Ukrainian Consulate General in Chicago

The Ukrainian Consulate General in Chicago takes papers Monday to Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m.; Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and from 3:00 to 4:45 p.m. (source, in Ukrainian).

Finished documents are handed out without an appointment during working hours, Monday to Friday (source, in Ukrainian).

Chicago’s English home page gives shorter hours than its Ukrainian contact page: afternoons only on Monday and Wednesday, and mornings only on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. The contact page adds afternoons every weekday, until 4:45 p.m. on Friday (sources: 1, 2 in Ukrainian).

Both versions agree on weekday mornings from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and on Monday and Wednesday afternoons from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. Visits go by e-Consul booking anyway, so the slot you get decides; for collecting finished documents without a booking, those windows are the safe ones.

Its office is closed on Saturdays and Sundays, and phone questions are answered in the afternoon (source, in Ukrainian).

What is done elsewhere:

A selection of the fees in the table shared by the Embassy and the four consulates general (source, in Ukrainian):

The requirements and fees page has the rest of the table, and the passport guide explains how the money order is filled out.

The offices give three different waits.

The Embassy’s passport FAQ says up to three months, delivery from Kyiv included; Chicago’s passport page says one to four months; and Houston’s page says the production time is undetermined under martial law and that the applicant carries the risk of a long wait (sources: 1 in Ukrainian, 2 in Ukrainian, 3 in Ukrainian).

The passport guide sets the three waits side by side.
