Utah residents apply for U.S. passports at local acceptance facilities, not at a state office. Our directory lists 53 of them across 43 Utah cities, from the Salt Lake City Passport Office on 2100 South to the Uintah County Passport Office in Vernal. The U.S. Department of State issues every passport. Your local office checks your documents, watches you sign and sends the file on. This page explains how that works in Utah, how the Wasatch Front differs from the rural counties, and what to bring so you only make one trip.

How Passport Acceptance Works in Utah

No Utah state agency issues or governs passports. The authority is federal: the Bureau of Consular Affairs at the Department of State, acting under the passport regulations in 22 CFR Part 51. What Utah has is a network of acceptance facilities that the State Department authorizes to handle the in-person part of an application. These are usually post offices and county clerk offices, along with some libraries and city offices. That is why our listings include county-named offices such as the Sevier County Passport Office and the Wasatch County Passport Office, alongside city-named ones such as Draper and Delta.

An acceptance agent has a limited job. They confirm your identity, watch you sign the DS-11 application, collect your payments and seal the envelope. They do not decide whether you qualify, and they cannot speed up a decision. Approval, printing and mailing happen at State Department facilities outside Utah. If your application has a problem later, the local office usually cannot fix it, and you will deal with the State Department directly.

Each office sets its own hours, appointment rules and payment methods. An office inside a post office or courthouse follows that building's schedule. Many require appointments, and some offer passport service only on certain days. Call the number in the listing before you drive, especially in small towns where one clerk may handle passports alongside other duties.

Wasatch Front Passport Offices in Salt Lake, Utah, Davis and Weber Counties

Most Utahns live along the Wasatch Front, and most of the state's passport capacity is there too. Salt Lake County has the most listings in our database. Besides the Salt Lake City Passport Office at 1760 2100 South (801-974-2332), it includes the Sandy Passport Office at 10000 Centennial Parkway (801-568-7135) and the Draper Passport Office at 1020 Pioneer Road (801-576-6500). Sandy and Draper let people in the south end of the valley apply close to home instead of driving downtown.

Utah County is the next busiest. The Provo Passport Office at 95 West 100 South (801-818-9692) and the Mountain Shadows Passport Office at 877 1200 South in Orem (801-802-7141) serve a young, fast-growing population that includes many college students and young families. Expect crowded calendars in the months before summer and fall departures for study abroad, work or volunteer service overseas.

North of Salt Lake, Davis County has the Bountiful Passport Office at 20 South Main Street (801-292-5754) and the Davis County Passport Office at 28 East State Street in Farmington (801-451-3213). Weber County has the Ogden Passport Office at 3680 Pacific Avenue (801-627-4527) and the Huntsville Passport Office at 7785 East 500 South (801-745-2567). Huntsville sits in the Ogden Valley, so people who live there can skip the trip down to Ogden.

In the metro area, the trade-off is wait time, not distance. Several offices are usually within a short drive, so compare appointment dates and book the earliest one. A Sandy appointment next week can beat a Salt Lake City slot next month, and the application is handled the same way either way.

Passport Offices in Rural and Southern Utah

Outside the Wasatch Front, passport services typically sit in the county seat. Carbon County residents have the Price Passport Office at 95 South Carbon Avenue (435-637-1638). In the Uinta Basin, the Uintah County Passport Office is at 147 East Main Street in Vernal (435-781-5361), and the Duchesne County Passport Office is at 734 South Center Street in Duchesne (435-738-1101). Emery County has two: the Emery County Passport Office at 75 East Main Street in Castle Dale (435-381-5106) and the Green River Passport Office at 80 East Main Street (435-564-3329).

Central Utah follows the same pattern. The Sevier County Passport Office is at 250 North Main Street in Richfield (435-893-0401). The Ephraim Passport Office at 55 East 100 North (435-283-4189) serves Sanpete County, and the Beaver County Passport Office is at 105 E Center St (435-438-6465). Millard County has two choices, the Delta Passport Office at 86 South 300 East and the Millard County Passport Office at 765 S Highway 99 in Fillmore.

In the southwest, the Washington County Passport Office is at 197 East Tabernacle Street in St. George (435-634-5712). Our Iron County listing is the Cedar City Passport Office (435-586-6701). Its listed street address, 333 North Main Street, is filed under Gunlock, which does not match the name, so call to confirm where appointments are held. In the mountains east of the Wasatch Front, the Summit County Passport Office is at 60 North Main Street in Coalville (435-336-3204), and the Wasatch County Passport Office is at 25 North Main Street in Heber (435-657-3193). The Dugway Passport Office, at 5326 Valdez Cir (435-831-4261), is in a remote part of Tooele County's west desert, so ask who it serves before you go.

In rural counties the trade-off is reversed. There are fewer offices, but waits can be short. Hours may be limited to a few days a week, and the trained clerk may be out on a given day. Drive time is the main cost, so phone first and confirm someone can take your application when you arrive.

What to Bring to a Utah Passport Office and What It Costs

The requirements are the same at every Utah office because they are federal. First-time adult applicants apply in person with form DS-11. So do children under 16, people replacing a lost or stolen passport, and anyone whose last passport was issued more than 15 years ago or before age 16. Bring these items:

As of this writing, the adult passport book application fee is $130, and the acceptance fee is $35. For a child under 16, the application fee is $100 plus the $35 acceptance fee. Expedited handling adds $60. Fees change, so check travel.state.gov before you pay.

If your most recent passport was issued when you were 16 or older, was issued within the last 15 years and is undamaged, you can usually renew by mail with form DS-82 and skip the office entirely. Processing times shift through the year, and the State Department posts current estimates. Spring and early summer are busy in Utah, so apply several months before an international trip and hold off on nonrefundable tickets until your passport arrives.

Passport acceptance facilities in Utah are distributed across post offices, county clerks' offices, and public libraries, providing residents with accessible locations to submit passport applications without traveling to a regional agency. Utah residents with urgent travel needs may also have access to a regional passport agency for in-person expedited service.

Passport Offices locations are available in 43 cities across Utah. They are spread across 25 counties.

Cities with the highest concentration of passport offices include Salt Lake, Orem, Vernal, reflecting larger populations and greater volumes of international travelers requiring passport services.

Residents of Utah should verify that their chosen acceptance facility accepts walk-ins or requires an appointment, as policies vary by location. Processing times fluctuate with seasonal demand, so applying several months before planned international travel is strongly advised.

Residents of Utah applying for a passport should complete their application form in advance, gather all required documents including proof of citizenship and a compliant passport photo, and confirm whether their chosen facility requires an appointment. Many passport renewal applicants in Utah can mail their DS-82 form directly to a processing center, avoiding an in-person visit altogether.

Planning a Passport Application in Utah

A few local details help a Utah application go smoothly. The most common snag is the birth certificate. Utah birth records are kept by the Office of Vital Records and Statistics at the Utah Department of Health and Human Services, and local health departments can also issue certified copies. Order a certified copy that carries the registrar's seal. A hospital keepsake certificate will not be accepted. If you were born in another state, order from that state's vital records office, and allow extra time for mail.

Timing matters here. Salt Lake City International Airport is a Delta Air Lines hub, so international flights are easy to book on short notice, but passport processing does not move that fast. Many young Utahns also apply before serving abroad as missionaries or studying overseas, so offices in Provo, Orem and Salt Lake City fill up before summer and fall departures. Book early and keep every document in one folder.

Consider the passport card, too. It works for land and sea entry from Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean, but not for international flights, and it costs less than a passport book. Either document also serves as valid ID at airport security for domestic flights, which is handy for trips out of Salt Lake City or St. George.

Many offices require one, but not all. Post offices and county offices set their own rules, and walk-in service may be limited to certain hours or days. Offices in larger places such as Salt Lake City, Sandy, Provo and Ogden fill their calendars early, particularly before summer. Smaller offices, such as those in Beaver, Delta or Coalville, may have only one trained staff member, so a call ahead matters even if walk-ins are accepted. Use the phone number in each listing to ask about hours, payment types and whether the passport clerk is working that day. Bring the complete application package, because an agent cannot accept an incomplete one.

The Wasatch Front has the most. In our database, Salt Lake County has 8 listings and Utah County has 5. Davis, Tooele and Weber counties have 3 each. Rural counties typically have one or two offices, usually in the county seat. Tooele County's three listings include the Dugway office in the west desert, far from the Wasatch Front. You are not limited to your home county, because you can apply at any authorized acceptance facility in Utah. If you live near a county line, check the neighboring county's offices too and book whichever has the earliest opening.

Often yes. If your passport is undamaged, was issued when you were 16 or older and was issued within the last 15 years, you can renew by mail with form DS-82. You send the form, your old passport, a photo and your payment to the address on the form. There is no acceptance fee, because no agent is involved. The adult renewal fee for a passport book is $130 as of this writing. If you changed your name, include the court order or marriage certificate. The State Department has also been adding online renewal, so check travel.state.gov to see whether you qualify.

Start with your county seat. In Millard County you can choose the Delta office or the Fillmore office. Sanpete County residents can use the Ephraim office, and Sevier County residents can use the Richfield office. In the Uinta Basin, look at Vernal or Duchesne. Rural offices may keep limited hours, so phone ahead and ask which days a trained agent is available. If your errands already take you to a larger city such as St. George, Provo or Ogden, applying there may save a second trip. Wherever you go, the documents and fees are the same.

Children under 16 must apply in person with form DS-11, and the child must be present. Both parents or guardians should attend. If one parent cannot come, bring that parent's signed and notarized consent on form DS-3053, plus a photocopy of the front of their ID. You also need the child's certified birth certificate showing the parents' names, your own photo ID and a 2 by 2 inch photo. As of this writing the fees are $100 plus the $35 acceptance fee, and the passport is valid for five years. Teens aged 16 and 17 follow different rules, so check the State Department's guidance first.

Apply at any Utah acceptance facility and pay the $60 expedite fee, which was the rate as of this writing. For travel within about two weeks, the State Department may offer an appointment at a regional passport agency. Utah has no agency of its own, so the nearest options are in other states, such as Denver. To request an urgent appointment, call the National Passport Information Center at 1-877-487-2778 and have your flight details ready. Never book nonrefundable travel until the passport is in hand, and keep copies of every form and receipt.
