Kenosha County Clerk Regi Waligora has announced that the County Clerk’s Office will hold its first Special Event Passport Day at the Kenosha County Center in Bristol on Friday, December 8. The event is designed to provide residents with an opportunity to apply for U.S. passports without having to travel to 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.”
During the event, 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 at the site.
The event is scheduled from noon to 4 p.m. on December 8 at 19600 75th St., Bristol. Residents are encouraged to schedule appointments in advance, though walk-in applications may be accommodated if time permits. Applicants with appointments will receive priority.
To schedule an appointment, individuals can contact the Kenosha County Clerk’s Office by phone or email. Staff will provide 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.”
