International travel requires up-to-date documentation, and Utah residents are actively securing their travel credentials. The U.S. Department of State issued over 247,000 passports to Utahns in 2024 alone. Whether you are planning a trip abroad or updating an expired document, getting a compliant photo is the first step.
When it comes to getting a passport photo, many residents traditionally visit retail chains. You can find passport photo services at approximately 60 Walmart locations and over 50 Walgreens pharmacies scattered across the state, as well as at roughly 200 local USPS post offices.
If you need a passport expedited for life-or-death emergencies or urgent travel within 14 days, you should know that Utah does not have its own regional U.S. passport agency. Residents requiring these urgent, in-person appointments typically have to travel out of state to the Colorado Passport Agency in Aurora or the Western Passport Center in Arizona.
For standard renewals and applications, there is a convenient alternative to waiting in line. Perfect Passport allows you to take a compliant 2x2 inch passport photo right at home with your smartphone. For $7.95, our software checks your image against government requirements, saving you a trip to the store.
