Available services

Requirements and fees are set by the country's authority, not by each office. Each guide details them with a source, or explains where to confirm them when no figure can be published.

Before you go

  1. Book your appointment

    Most services require an appointment. Book on the official portal, never through intermediaries.

  2. Gather your documents

    Check the requirements for your service and bring originals and copies separately.

  3. Reconfirm and arrive early

    Check hours and closures the day before. A home-country holiday is the most common cause of a wasted trip.

Practical questions before you go

Short answers based on the jurisdiction, channels and hours documented in this record.

Which states does the Indian consulate in Chicago cover?

Its district covers Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri and Wisconsin. If you live in Nebraska or the Dakotas, your office is the Consulate General in Seattle, and Ohio falls under the New York consulate.

Where do I file my passport or visa application if I live in Michigan?

No need to travel to Chicago: VFS Global, the official provider since August 2025, runs an application center in Detroit in addition to the Chicago one. The consulate itself only steps in for emergencies and certain miscellaneous services.

I got a call from the consulate's number asking for money — is it real?

Be suspicious: the consulate itself warns that its numbers 312-595-0405 and 0406 are frequently spoofed by fraudsters. No consulate demands payment over the phone; verify any call by writing to hoc.chicago@mea.gov.in before sharing data or money.

Office-specific notes

  • It occupies Suite 850 of the NBC Tower by the Chicago River; its phone lines (312-595-0405/0406) answer only 2:00–5:00 PM on business days.
  • Since August 1, 2025, applications are lodged at VFS Global centers, with locations in Chicago itself (180 N Stetson Ave) and in Detroit for Michigan applicants.
  • The consulate warns on its website that scammers spoof its official numbers with fake calls; it asks that any request for money be verified by writing to hoc.chicago@mea.gov.in.
