Circuit Clerk’s Office to Host Passport Registration Day at Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport

Residents will have an opportunity to apply for a passport this weekend as the Sangamon County Circuit Clerk’s Office partners with Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport to host a Passport Registration Day.

Passport agents from the Circuit Clerk’s Office will process passport applications from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Saturday, November 14, at Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport, 1200 Capital Airport Drive in Springfield. Standard passport fees will apply, and current processing times are available through the U.S. Department of State.

The event is intended to provide residents with a convenient opportunity to apply for a passport outside of regular services at the Circuit Clerk’s Office.

“We are pleased to welcome the Sangamon County Circuit Clerk’s Office to Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport for a Passport Day to assist local travelers with the passport application process,” said Mark E. Hanna, Executive Director of Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport.

Circuit Clerk Joe Roesch encouraged residents in need of a passport to take advantage of the event as part of the office’s continued efforts to make passport services more accessible.

“We are pleased to partner with local government, banks and merchants to provide community outreach events,” Roesch said. “Through these events, we hope to make the process of applying for a passport more convenient for everyone.”

Applicants attending the event should bring a certified copy of their birth certificate, a valid photo ID, certified copies of any applicable court orders for a name change, custody or adoption, and two checks or money orders to cover the required passport fees. Passport photos can also be taken on site.

Residents who are unable to attend the event may continue to apply for a passport in person at the Sangamon County Circuit Clerk’s Office, Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., excluding weekends and court holidays.
