Residents of Bristol can access passport services at Bristol Post Office, conveniently located at 8223 199TH AVE. This unassuming postal facility serves as a crucial resource for the residents of Bristol and the surrounding communities of Paris, Somers, and even venturing slightly north towards Pleasant Prairie. The post office is situated near the intersection of 199th Avenue and 83rd Street, a recognizable landmark for those navigating the area. Specifically, it’s just a stone’s throw away from the Bristol Grade School, making it easily accessible to families residing in the immediate neighborhood. For those living further west, closer to the I-94 corridor, the post office provides a quicker alternative to traveling all the way to Kenosha for passport services. The facility caters predominantly to families, senior citizens, and individuals preparing for international travel, whether for leisure or business. The demographic it serves is largely comprised of long-time residents of Bristol, many of whom remember when the post office was just a small, one-room operation. Today, it’s a considerably larger building, reflecting the growth of the community it serves. One unique aspect of this particular post office is its close relationship with the local Bristol Renaissance Faire, held annually just a few miles to the west. Many participants and attendees from around the world utilize the post office to send and receive packages related to the event. Historically, the area around Bristol was largely agricultural, with dairy farms dotting the landscape. While farming still exists, the area has seen significant residential development over the past few decades. This development has increased the demand for services like passport applications, making the Bristol Post Office a vital asset for the community. Nearby landmarks include the Bristol Woods Park, a popular spot for hiking and picnicking, located approximately three blocks to the east. Also, the small but vibrant Bristol Community Garden, a shared space where locals cultivate flowers and vegetables, is located about two blocks to the south, offering a quaint and community-focused atmosphere. The growth of Bristol, spurred by its proximity to both Milwaukee and Chicago, has made passport services increasingly essential. The Bristol Post Office provides a convenient and accessible option for residents who need to obtain or renew their passports. Many locals appreciate the personalized service they receive, often preferring it to the larger, more impersonal passport agencies found in larger cities. The staff at the Bristol Post Office are known for their friendly demeanor and willingness to assist with the often-confusing passport application process. This personal touch fosters a sense of community and makes the experience less daunting for first-time applicants. In recent years, the post office has seen a surge in passport applications, driven by pent-up travel demand following the pandemic and the increasing need for international travel for work. This increased demand has highlighted the importance of having a local facility capable of handling these needs efficiently. The Bristol Post Office remains a cornerstone of the community, not just for mail services but as a place where residents can access important government services like passport applications, all within a familiar and welcoming environment. The post office also often hosts local events, such as holiday card drives for overseas military personnel, further solidifying its role as a community hub. The friendly atmosphere extends to those who might be hesitant to apply, assisting them through the necessary steps and providing reassurance about the application process. Regulars know to stop by on Wednesdays for Mrs. Johnson’s famous homemade cookies that she often brings to share with the staff and customers. The staff’s intimate knowledge of the local area makes them invaluable resources for directions, local happenings, and general information. The location is also convenient for those using the nearby Bristol School bus stop, providing a central point for various community activities. The Bristol Post Office truly goes above and beyond its basic postal duties, acting as a vital and cherished part of the Bristol community.

Parking at the Bristol Post Office is generally convenient, with a dedicated 25-space parking lot directly in front of the building on 199th Avenue. This lot is free of charge and provides ample parking for customers visiting the post office. During peak hours, especially around lunchtime on weekdays, the lot can become quite busy, but spaces usually open up quickly as customers come and go. For those who might find the main lot full, there is street parking available along 199th Avenue, although it’s essential to pay attention to any posted signage regarding parking restrictions. During the winter months, it’s advisable to exercise caution when walking from your car to the post office, as the parking lot can become icy, especially after a snowfall. The post office staff typically salts the walkways, but wearing appropriate footwear is still recommended. In the summer, the asphalt can get quite hot, so consider parking in a shaded area if possible to keep your car cool. For passport appointments, arriving a few minutes early can allow you time to find a parking spot and avoid any last-minute stress. While there are no dedicated handicap parking spots beyond those mandated, the staff are accommodating and will assist individuals with mobility issues as needed. There is additional parking at the Bristol Grade School across the street. During school hours parking is only for the school staff and parents.
While Bristol is primarily a car-dependent community, limited public transportation options are available for reaching the Bristol Post Office. The Kenosha County Transit Route 51A makes a stop approximately 0.3 miles from the post office at the intersection of 83rd Street and 200th Avenue. This bus runs approximately every 90 minutes during weekdays, connecting Bristol with Kenosha and other surrounding communities. A single ride costs $2.00, with a day pass available for $4.50. From the bus stop, walk west along 83rd Street for about two blocks, then turn right onto 199th Avenue. The Bristol Post Office will be on your right. The Route 51A bus is equipped with wheelchair lifts and designated seating areas for individuals with disabilities, ensuring accessibility for all riders. The bus stop itself has a sheltered waiting area with seating. However, services are limited on weekends and holidays, so it’s essential to check the Kenosha County Transit schedule beforehand. Given the infrequent bus service, planning your trip carefully is crucial to avoid long wait times. The nearest Metra train station is located in Kenosha, approximately 8 miles east of Bristol. From the Kenosha Metra station, you would need to take a Kenosha County Transit bus or a taxi/rideshare service to reach the Bristol Post Office. The Kenosha Metra line provides service to Chicago, with trains running approximately every hour during peak times.
