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 is designed to make it easier for residents, especially those in the western part of the county, to apply for U.S. passports.
The passport application service is typically available only at the county Administration Building in downtown Kenosha. By holding this event at a more central location, the clerk’s office aims to increase accessibility for local families.
“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, 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 provided onsite.
The Special Event Passport Day will take place from noon to 4 p.m. on December 8 at 19600 75th St., Bristol. Residents are encouraged to schedule appointments ahead of time by contacting the Kenosha County Clerk’s Office by phone or email; walk-in applications may be accepted if time allows, but priority will be given to those with appointments.
“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.”
