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. This 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 usually only available at 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.”
Applications from first-time and minor applicants will be accepted on behalf of the U.S. Department of State during this event. Passport photo services will also be provided onsite.
The event will run from noon until 4 p.m. at 19600 75th St., Bristol. Residents are encouraged to schedule appointments in advance, though walk-ins may be accommodated if time permits; priority will be given to those with appointments.
To schedule an appointment or request more information, people can contact the Kenosha County Clerk’s Office by phone at 262-653-2552 or by email at [email protected]. Staff will provide details about required documents and application procedures.
“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.”
