John came through and obtained my passport for me in a few days. Would definitely recommend if you need an reliable expediter.
After successfully receiving my passport within the provided time frame from John and being able to travel this past month, I can confidently give this business a 5 star rating. Was skeptical at first because everything seemed to good to be true. Thanks again John!
Amazing service! I dropped off the passport renewal materials on a Saturday, and John had passports for my wife and me by Wednesday (2-3 business days turnaround! We did a lot of research, and saw many other expediter services and saw got terrible reviews, and werent able to deliver passports in a timely fashion, were scams etc. So, I was super-skeptical, but John is 100% trustworthy and delivered for us at a much lower price than we were quoted by other expediters. John responded to all queries within 24 hours, and gave clear, detailed explanations of the process and updated us on progress. (He also advice on using the Urgent Travel Agency passport renewal process, which we opted not to do, even though we were able to book an appointment in Chicago for the day before our trip— but at that point, John seemed to offer more peace of mind). I dont write a lot of reviews, but I thought were going to miss out on a once-in-a-lifetime trip because we were planning at the last minute, and John made it happen.
John is one of the most helpful and kind people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. He is extremely honest and transparent and it was an absolute pleasure working with him. He’s attentive to detail and he knows the exact procedure for getting your passport correct and on time. I had less than a week to leave for Spain and he made sure my passport was ready the next day. His pricing and attention to detail are the best the city and country has to offer. I will be seeing him from now on for all of my passport needs. Thank you John for a memorable experience! Greetings from Barcelona!
Cannot praise John enough for his fast, friendly, no-B.S. service. Got my passport renewed in a week, with stellar communication. Highly recommended.
The entire process was easier than I could have imagined. I dropped off my old passport on a Monday night (John was able to extend his hours to accommodate my late work schedule, as he works from his home) and my new passport was ready on Thursday. John was helpful and friendly as well.
I am an airline pilot and I need my passport for work all the time in case I end up getting an international flight assigned. So I needed to do my passport renewal as quick as I could.After a quick Google search I found John on the Bucktown area, away from all the downtown traffic, and all the music festivals crowds.I have never used this kind of services so I didnt know what to expect. But he ended up being very flexible to my personal needs, and right away I was able to feel how he would accommodate his services to anybody else needs.He was very fair on his fees, even a lot lower than other bigger offices in Chicago.I gave him all the required documents on a Thursday evening, and I couldnt believe when he called me at noon on Friday to tell me that he had my Passport ready. So I went to pick it up around 3pm. That was UNDER 24 hrs!. He actually didt processed my stuff until that same Friday so, I believe him when he told me that he could actually do a passport renewal on just 6 HOURS!.Anyway, I just had a great experience and had to right a review about John. I live on the Bucktown area as well and for me it was nice to count on him and get to know a new neighbor.
I had plane tickets to a wedding overseas and no passport. I called this place because of its proximity to my home. John, the business owner, was awesome. It had been over twenty years since I last applied, and he carefully walked me through the entire process over the phone. He directed me to his website, which also spelled out the process, with links. He also returned a subsequent phone call to answer additional questions. I delivered the paperwork and had my passport the next day. John is professional and personable, I wish more people I deal with were like him.
I had to fly with my family to Mexico in 6 days, thanks God I found this place with excellent customer service, I had to get my son and daughter passport ASAP and John took good care of me. I really appreciate what he did for me, he save me all the hustle and time to go Downtown to do it. I really recommend it, give him a call and if he doesnt answer because hes busy leave your name and phone number and he will get back to you, highly recommended!
John is fantastic to work with. The entire process was easy and stress free. I had my passport within a week! Highly recommend this service.
I was worried to mail in my expired passport to the US government website because the back cover was ripped (damaged passport). If they refused it I wouldnt have time to go through the process again and I would miss my flight. Thats why I called Bucktown Passport and John took care of getting me a new passport very quickly and at a great price. The damage didnt end up being a problem and Im able to book my flight in peace.
John is the best. Literally takes care of you, step by step from start to finish. Bucktown Visa and Passport is personable, affordable, and down right amazing. If you want to be taken for tons of your money and your time, go to one of those places downtown. If you want your passport done fast, done right, done affordably, and done by a great dude, then you have to go to Bucktown Passport and Visa. This is what a local business SHOULD be.
John got my passport in 2 days, it has been easiest experience ever, he also helped me out with forms and the fact that he is local and accessible was very useful, I highly recommend this company. Thank you John.
John was great, prompt and informative. Very personable and willing to answer any questions I had about the process.I only plan on doing my Passport here moving forward.Thanks John!
As others have mentioned, straight up and very considerate. No sense ofdrudgery.Would recommend for anyone, anytime.... once passport office opens again.
John provided outstanding service! Very friendly, very informative and outstanding value! Provided prompt, excellent service at a much lower price than some of the other companies around! Highly recommended!
Fast and easy service no wait no line came right in and was helped out, awesome hospitality John is a very laid back cool guy I highly recommend stopping in if your in need of his services !
I talked to John about the application process and he was full of knowledge and experience. I was very impressed with the service provided to me. Thanks John!
Fast and Easy Service, without needing to go to the passport agency or post office, and it was quickly expedited.
John was the best! Extremely helpful and knowledgeable!! I highly recommend!!!

John was extremely helpful. Pleasure to work with.

2022-07-27This is an excellent service. I highly recommended using Bucktown Visa & Passport service owned by John a US Navy veteran. Why I recommend John: I had just two weeks to renew my expired passport and he came through big time! I did my due diligence and researched about half a dozen passport services. Most seemed to charge excessive fees north of thousands $$$$ for expedited services or they were too busy to accept any new clients.He is Legit, trustworthy and very customer centric, so your needs are his first priority. He sets the right expectations and walks you through the process, so expect him to deliver on time. I found him to be very courteous and professional. He keeps all information personal and confidential. His rates are very fare compared to other services that tend to overcharge customers. His communication via email, phone text is very clear and concise, his website is clear on whats needed to process.

2022-07-15John is so wonderful! He called to let me know that I have plenty of time to get my passport done before January and walked me through step by step how to get it done easily. Really appreciate him taking the time to help me through this process even when it didnt involve his services directly! Would highly recommend :)

2022-07-18John saved the day!! Let me tell you this man is honest and the true definition of a hard working get the job done guy. I drove THREE hours to him.My sister was having a wedding in Europe and since Covid happened and I wasn’t traveling as much I didn’t realize my passport was expired until a few weeks before I was leaving.I called around to 10 places and the agency downtown as well. I got quotes from $1200-$1800 from these companies and was even told that I would have to fly to Miami to get it on timeI called John up. He took 18 minutes out of his day to return my call and reassure me he would get the job done for me. John works out of his home and is super laid back and casual. He only accepts payment AFTER you receive your passport. I had my passport in 4 days!!Thank you John! I will definitely recommend you to all my friends and family.

2022-07-20John is great! I needed to update my passport to my married name, dropped off my passport on a Monday and got it the following Monday! He works out of his home and met me on the front porch to go over all the documents. Highly recommend. Fast, reliable and I’m happy to support a Veteran!

2022-02-14I was a bit skeptical at first since the address was a residence and did not look like a store front. But the owner John was really nice and even though he could not get the passport for me anymore (there was only a few days left) he provided some good advise over the phone on how I may be able to still acquire one. Thank you very much for your help. Good luck with the business.

2022-01-28John is the guy you are looking for to get your passport renewed. I needed a renewal done in 1 month and he had my new passport ready in 3 days... it could not have been easier for me. Whenever someone mentions needing a passport I point them in Johns direction. Oh, and hes also a super awesome dude. Thanks John!!
