Kenosha County Clerk Regi Waligora has announced that her office will hold its first Special Event Passport Day at the Kenosha County Center in Bristol on Friday, December 8. The event aims to make passport application services more accessible to residents, particularly those living in the western part of the county.
Typically, passport applications are processed only at the county Administration Building in downtown Kenosha. This special event will allow people to apply for U.S. passports at a more central location. “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 for first-time applicants and minors will be accepted on behalf of the U.S. Department of State. Passport photo services will also be available onsite.
The event is scheduled from noon to 4 p.m. on December 8 at 19600 75th St., Bristol. While appointments are recommended, walk-in applications may be accepted if time permits; however, those with appointments will receive priority.
To schedule an appointment, residents can contact the Kenosha County Clerk’s Office by phone or email. After scheduling, staff will send all necessary information and 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.”
