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. This event will allow residents to apply for U.S. passports at a location more convenient for those living in the western part of the county, as passport services are usually offered only at the county Administration Building in downtown Kenosha.
“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.”
Applications will be accepted from first-time applicants and minors on behalf of the U.S. Department of State. Passport photo services will also be available during the event.
The event is scheduled from noon to 4 p.m. on December 8 at 19600 75th St., Bristol. While appointments are recommended, walk-ins may be accommodated if time allows, but priority will go to those with appointments.
Residents interested in scheduling an appointment can contact the Kenosha County Clerk’s Office by phone or email. Staff will then send all necessary information and application materials by 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.”
