Kenosha County Clerk Regi Waligora has announced that her office will host its first Special Event Passport Day at the Kenosha County Center in Bristol on Friday, December 8. The event aims to make passport services more accessible for residents in the western part of the county.
“As many families are preparing for spring break travel plans, this is a great opportunity for the County Clerk’s Office to bring a valuable service to our residents in the western portion of our county,” Waligora said. “This will be the first of several such events at the Kenosha County Center that we intend to hold throughout 2024.”
The event, which will take place from noon to 4 p.m., allows individuals to apply for U.S. passports at 19600 75th St., Bristol. Typically, these services are only available at the county Administration Building in downtown Kenosha.
Passport applications will be accepted on behalf of the U.S. Department of State for first-time and minor applicants. Onsite passport photo services will also be provided.
Appointments are recommended but walk-ins may be accommodated if time permits, with priority given to those who have scheduled ahead. To set up an appointment, residents can contact the Kenosha County Clerk’s Office by phone or email; staff will provide necessary information and application requirements.
“For those who are unable to attend the Special Event Passport Day, we process passport applications daily at our downtown location,” Waligora said. “Contact our office to schedule an appointment or check out our website for more information.”
