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 without traveling to downtown Kenosha, where the service is usually offered.
“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.”
The event will accept passport applications for first-time applicants and minors on behalf of the U.S. Department of State. Passport photo services will also be available onsite. The session is scheduled from noon to 4 p.m. at 19600 75th St., Bristol.
Appointments are recommended, but walk-ins may be accommodated if time permits, with priority given to those who have scheduled in advance.
Residents can contact the Kenosha County Clerk’s Office by phone or email to schedule an appointment. Staff will then send all necessary information and application materials 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.”
