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 provide residents an opportunity 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.”
During the event, passport applications for first-time and minor applicants 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. Pre-scheduled appointments are recommended, but walk-in applications may be accepted if time allows; those with appointments will have priority.
To schedule an appointment, residents can contact the Kenosha County Clerk’s Office by phone or email. Staff will then send 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.”
