The holiday season is just around the corner, and many of us are already thinking about upcoming travel plans. Whether you’re planning to visit family overseas, take a winter vacation, or embark on an exciting adventure, now is the perfect time to check your passport!
Avoid the Last-Minute Rush
Passport applications and renewals can take several weeks to process, and with the busy holiday travel season approaching, wait times may increase. To avoid any delays, we encourage residents to submit their passport applications as early as possible.
Need a Passport or Renewal? We Can Help!
Our City Clerk’s Office is here to assist you with passport applications and renewals. Make sure to have all required documents ready, such as your original birth certificate and a government-issued ID.
Key Reminders:
- Processing Time: Routine passport processing can take up to 6-8 weeks, while expedited services can take 2-3 weeks. Plan accordingly!
- Passport Expiration: Many countries require your passport to be valid for at least six months beyond your travel dates. Double-check your expiration date now!
- Appointments: For your convenience, our office offers appointments to assist with your passport application. Be sure to schedule yours early!

Safety Tip of the Month
Downtown Lake Elsinore Revitalization
The City of Lake Elsinore's vibrant downtown is undergoing an exciting transformation. Rediscover Downtown is a series of six current and future projects designed to enhance the downtown corridor.
The six projects are as follows:
- Main Street Interchange and Art Panels
- New City Hall
- Main Street Road Improvements & IT Infrastructure
- I-15 Main Street Interchange and Landscape Improvement
- New Library
- Main Street Aesthetics Improvement
These civic improvements aim to improve the city's infrastructure, aesthetics, and public spaces, fostering a stronger sense of community and boosting local businesses while preserving downtown's historic charm and character. With a $67.5 million investment in our future, we're building a more connected, accessible, and beautiful downtown that residents and visitors will enjoy for years to come.
Explore and visit this page often as we provide updates, share progress on each project, and showcase how these developments shape our downtown's future.
Lake Elsinore Lake Watch
Based on recent lab results from lake water sampling, the City of Lake Elsinore is announcing that current levels of toxins from algae warrant the posting of a “Caution” advisory. People are advised to avoid scum, to not drink lake water, and to continue to keep pets out of the water.
The City will continue to test the water on a weekly or bi-weekly basis at this time and will post regular updates on the lake conditions as lab results are received.
