Kenosha County Clerk Regi Waligora has announced the office’s first Special Event Passport Day, scheduled for Friday, December 8, at the Kenosha County Center in Bristol. The event will allow residents to apply for U.S. passports at a location outside of the usual downtown Kenosha Administration Building.
“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.”
Passport applications will be accepted for first-time applicants and minors on behalf of the U.S. Department of State. Passport photo services will also be available onsite during the event, which runs from noon to 4 p.m. at 19600 75th St., Bristol.
Appointments are recommended, but walk-in applications will be accepted if time allows; those with appointments will be served first. To schedule an appointment, residents can contact the Kenosha County Clerk’s Office by phone or email. Staff will provide all necessary information and application requirements via email.
“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.”

Kenosha County is home to several large schools and a diverse student population. In the 2023-24 school year, Indian Trail High School and Academy had the highest enrollment among local schools with over 2,000 students, followed by Tremper High School and Bradford High School (https://dpi.wi.gov/). During this period, white students made up just over half of the student body in Kenosha County schools (https://dpi.wi.gov/), while Hispanic students were about one-quarter and Black students accounted for roughly one-tenth (https://dpi.wi.gov/). American Indian students represented a small fraction of enrolled students (https://dpi.wi.gov/).
