Everyone is waiting
Robert G.

In short, do not go to this USPS location. Went here for passport service. Waited in line for 30 minutes. During this initial 30 minute wait, one of the two clerks got up from her station and states to the other clerk (Teresa) that she would be going on break/ lunch. Abysmally slow service turned glacially slow. A bit later a supervisor stepped onto the floor and generally stated [clerk's name] and asked where she was, the other clerk responded with the truth and the supervisor stated "no, oh no" and was visibly agitated. He the disappeared. Now 40 minutes into standing with an infant in my arms, the clerk named Teresa said we were in the wrong line and mumbled something about where I should be standing. I responded several times: "I'm still not clear on where I need to be standing to acquire passport service." It was a made-up line that did not exist at anytime while we stood in the main line. Teresa then stated that if was already here before the other people I should just step in front of them. Yeah, about that Teresa, I've no idea, but in pretty sure I've been there longer than anyone in the post office. At this point I walk to the end of the imaginary & unmarked "passport line" and strip down so my "HIGHWAY TO HELL" shirt. When I get back to Teresa we find out that I was deficient with having copies of my drivers license to company the passport application. This is on me, but is it unheard of for a post office to have a copier machine? She directs us to a cellphone store 1 block away. We triumphantly returned with the copies and patiently waited at the end of the passport line. She could have called the family that had been waiting- to the front of the line, after all I was wearing a bright yellow Puma top and taller than everyone in line-but she didn't. At the 57 minute mark into the customer service midadventure we get back in front of Teresa. With a look of disdain on my face I proceed to tell her that I also need passport picture service for my infant. She made some kind of animated face that served to upset me more and then continued to tell me that their passport camera was BROKEN. "That is not an acceptable answer. I called and was quoted $15 for the pictures." She then said something about the person's name that I talked to and said the people that answer the phone do not take passport pictures and would not know that the camera was broken. She then stated the camera was broken for a couple of days. The supervisor said something about going to CVS for pictures, which I didn't care to hear. That said, I am really excited to write to Congressman Luis Gutierrez about Teresa and the worst post office in Chicago. I do not recommend this location, go to the Harrison Street post office for passport services. Should you have problems with this post office, please complain to: Representative Luis Gutierrez 3240 W. Fullerton Ave Chicago, IL 60647 Phone: (773) 342-0774 Fax: (773) 342-0776

Passport Hours are different than their office hours.

I visited Oak Park Post Office because it happened to be the closest to me at the time while on…read moreDwight D. Eisenhower Expressway. After a few loops through the area, I eventually found a parking spot along N Kenilworth Ave right outside of the entrance. During my loops, I was astonished to see the beauty of downtown Oak Park which I have never seen before. I will have to visit the area one of these days to go food hopping, or maybe even pick out a run route that would take me through it on foot. Now as for parking, it is 1-hour parking, 9 AM - 5 PM Monday - Saturday. Many of the visitors I see try to secure those parking spots along N Kenilworth Ave because you will have to pay if you choose to park along Lake St, which is pay by the plate. An adorable, classy looking building is this post office not only on the outside, but inside as well. I must say that this post office was my life saver due to its closing time on the weekend which will surely result in future visits for me. During my visit, there was absolutely no line of customers inside which resulted in an in-and-out visit (no pun intended), tehehe. As someone who visits post office locations regularly whether it be for Poshmark or eBay shipments, the clerk presented a friendly vibe during our brief encounter at the counter. I was on my way in minutes after she weighed and scanned my package, as well as presented me with mailing stamps for my postcards. I am terrible at doing the surveys on the receipts pertaining to my visits at post offices, but rest assured I always share a review based on my experiences. I had a great experience and would gladly utilize Oak Park Post Office again for any shipments I may have. ~ Embrace the journey. ~ Thomas G

This used to be a nice post office with friendly workers. The women (except Kiara, Jasmine, and…read moreTanya) and the one man that work at the counter are unprofessional, rude, and unrefined (ghetto). They have attitudes, gossip, and use their personal phones while assisting customers. Expect to wait in line while they finish their personal conversation in the back office. Expect to wait in line while they finish waiting a video on their phone or finish writing a text. Expect to wait in line and listen to them bicker. Except flat affects and side eyes. Expect to feel like you're pestering them while they are assisting you. Oh..and expect the self-service kiosk to be non-functioning. If you have been, and had good service you probably worked with Kiara, Jasmine, or Tanya. They are very friendly, personable, and professional!

I personally think it's somewhat useless to rate the performance and experience from any government…read moreagency. I also was hesitant to write a review, but I thought my explanations might be helpful for some. I went to this branch to apply for a passport on a Saturday morning. Yes, the website had the "thorough" instructions on what documents, both original and photocopied, they needed. Both hubby and I still felt unclear, mainly on the diction. Don't get me wrong. The staff was patient even though hubby expressed his frustration. They were cool and no one took it personally. Hence I could only render three (3) stars because I did successfully submit my passport application...that morning. Ok, now here's the gist. Are ya'll ready? 1) Why should you make an appointment online? It guarantees your queue, versus those who don't make one. When I was there, the staff called out the customers with appointments first. Without an appointment, you had to take chances and lots of waiting might be involved. Making an appointment online was pretty easy. Lots of reminders were sent to my text and e-mail. 2) what documents do you need for applying for a passport? - the state ID or a driver's license (you have to show the staff who processes the application) - photocopied ID (both front and back) - the "original copy" of proof of U.S. citizenship. This WILL BE mailed with your application. - the photocopied version of proof of U.S. citizenship - Of course, the application (no need to fill out "section 2") 3) what was our frustration? Hubby and I read the instructions more than three (3) times. We didn't know the my original naturalization certificate needed to be submitted. That was a piece of very important document and we were not comfortable with that. We ended up driving to the nearby Fedex and made some photocopies, just in case. Do I trust the government agency? Not really, but s*it got to be done through USPS. I had no choice. 4) On the top first page of instruction sheets, it stated "proof of U.S. citizenship: Evidence of U.S. citizenship AND a photocopy of the front (and back, if there is printed information) must be submitted with your application. Ok, I got it and it did imply the original must be given at the time of application. It definitely could be rephrased in a much more clear manner. 5) the fee for the passport alone is $110 (as of 06/30/2018). If you also need a passport card, it will be $140. No credit or debit cards can be accepted. Fortunately, I had a couple of old personal checks and paid with a check. 6) processing fee for the passport is $35. This can be paid with a credit or debit card. 7) the facility here takes passport photos, which is an additional $15. This fee can also be paid with either a credit or debit card. I also noticed that many walk-ins for passport application came in after 11am. The best strategy is to get there early to avoid this whole waiting game. I hope my passport shows up at my house without any hiccup, yet we will see...
