Answer 2

you have no other choice,

just make sure before you go, that all you need is completed, and have all necessary documents with you:

Passport Requirements

PERSONAL APPEARANCE IS REQUIRED. All applicants, whether for the renewal of a passport, or those applying for the first time must appear personally at the Consulate General for data verification, thumb mark/finger-printing and signing of the application form. Application by mail will not be accepted.

*** INCOMPLETE APPLICATIONS WILL CAUSE DELAY IN THE ISSUANCE OF YOUR PASSPORT ***

Only the following States are within the jurisdiction of the Consulate General in Chicago : Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota,  Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Ohio, and Wisconsin

you obviously do not have another consulate near you.
