Note that the post to which you replied is dated in 2005. All, or nearly all, of these offices are gone. When they existed a replacement card could be fabricated on site while you waited, but those were magnetic stripe cards. That capability disappeared with the introduction of EMV chip cards. As far as I know all cards are now manufactured by contractors, not by card issuers.
