The Lake County Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller is once again honoring U.S. military veterans and active-duty personnel during the month of November by offering free passport photos, a savings of $10.
“This is our third year providing free photos to military service members,” said Gary Cooney, Lake County Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller. “Our office is grateful for the service and sacrifices that have been made for our Country, and this is just a small token of appreciation that we can offer.”
Since starting the veterans’ appreciation event in 2019, more than 130 veterans have been provided free photos. To be eligible for the free photo, military personnel can present their DD-214, military identification, or have a veteran designation on their driver’s license.
