Where to get passport photos in Salt Lake City

The numbered grid makes SLC easy to navigate, and passport-photo counters run from downtown out to Sandy, West Valley, and Sugar House, with local grocers Smith's and Harmons adding options beyond the national pharmacies.

  • Walgreens and CVS — same-day photos at most locations, about $15-$17
  • Smith's and Harmons photo counters — convenient Utah grocery options
  • Walmart photo centers — often the cheapest at roughly $8
  • FedEx Office and The UPS Store — handy when mailing an application
  • AAA — discounted photos for members
  • USPS Passport Acceptance Facilities — applications, many by appointment

The Salt Lake reality: a travel hub and the drive to Denver

SLC International is a major connecting hub, so international trips — and passport renewals — are common here. The valley is spread from the foothills to the lake, so even an easy grid drive adds up with the counter wait.

Salt Lake City has no regional US Passport Agency — the nearest is in Aurora, near Denver, several hundred miles east. For standard applications, USPS acceptance facilities handle the paperwork locally; you bring the compliant photo.

Skip the drive and create a compliant Salt Lake City passport photo from your phone with FastPassPhoto. Upload any recent photo and the AI handles the white background, 2x2 crop, and head positioning to US spec in about five minutes.

You get an upload-ready digital file for online renewal plus a print-ready 4x6 sheet, backed by a money-back compliance guarantee.

Need a physical print? Use any Salt Lake pharmacy

If you need a printed photo, download the included 4x6 sheet and send it to any SLC Walgreens, CVS, Smith's, or Walmart photo kiosk for pickup — usually under a dollar.

For online renewal through MyTravelGov, the digital file is all you need.
