Naperville, Illinois document errands: printing, fax, notary, passports and certified copies (2026)

Where to print, fax, notarize, apply for a passport and get certified copies in Naperville, Illinois, using only official and provider pages. Each fact links to its source. Some facts are statewide or national rather than local. We label those.

Printing, copying, scanning and fax

Naperville Public Library (NPL)

• Printing and copying, per side: letter or legal size is $0.10 black and white and $0.25 color; 11x17 is $0.20 black and white and $0.50 color ^[1][2].
• Remote printing from your own device, per side: letter or legal size is $0.20 black and white and $0.50 color ^[1][2].
• Fax: at the Simple Scan stations, $1.00 a side domestic and $2.00 a side international ^[1][2].
• Scanning: every location has a flatbed scanner and a Simple Scan station that scans to fax, email, a printer or a USB drive ^[9]. NPL says printing, scanning or faxing on its public computers is for a fee ^[1], but we didn't find a separate scanning price on its fee schedule ^[2].
• Who can use the computers: all customers, whether or not they have a library card ^[1].
• Also on the fee schedule: a letter-size laminating pouch is $0.50 and an 11x17 pouch is $1.00; flash drives are $10.00 ^[2].
• Locations: Nichols Library, 200 W. Jefferson Ave.; Naper Blvd. Library, 2035 S. Naper Blvd.; and 95th Street Library, 3015 Cedar Glade Dr. Main phone 630-961-4100 ^[1].

• The UPS Store: it lists 4 locations with Naperville addresses: 1212 S Naper Blvd, Ste 119, (630) 416-6666; 115 E Ogden Ave, Ste 105, (630) 355-3778; 2863 95th St, Ste 123, (630) 922-0750; 924 W 75th St, (630) 717-1540. Its city page says its stores offer packing, shipping, printing, shredding, notarizing, faxing and mailbox services ^[10]. We didn't find prices on the store pages; The UPS Store's site says products, services, prices and hours may vary by location ^[11].
• Which side of the county line: the Census Geocoder places the Naper Blvd and Ogden Ave stores in Naperville city in DuPage County and the 95th St store in Naperville city in Will County. It didn't match 924 W 75th St ^[10][4].

See printing prices and fax prices.

Notary in Naperville

• Naperville Public Library: we didn't find notary service on the NPL pages we checked ^[1][2][9].
• Naperville Township: limited notary services, by appointment only, for Naperville Township residents. The Clerk's Office is at 139 Water St., 1st floor, 630-388-4404 ^[12]. We didn't find a fee on that page.
• The UPS Store: its Naperville page lists notarizing ^[10].
• Fees (statewide law): the Illinois Notary Public Act caps the fee for a non-electronic notarial act at $5, and allows up to $25 for an electronic notarial act. The current text took effect Jan. 1, 2026 ^[13]. Ask for the price before the notary starts.
• Secretary of State notary pages: we couldn't read the Illinois Secretary of State's notary pages on Oct 31, 2026; the site didn't respond to our checks.

Passports in Naperville

The U.S. Department of State's Passport Acceptance Facility Locator data lists 4 facilities with Naperville mailing addresses. The Census Geocoder places 3 of them inside Naperville city: two in DuPage County and Wheatland Township in Will County ^[3][4]:

• Naperville Township: the locator says to call 630-355-2786 for an appointment, Monday–Friday 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.; it's closed Saturday and Sunday ^[3].
• Wheatland Township: the locator notes a passport closure on April 27–28, 2026; those dates are past ^[3].
• Naperville Post Office: the locator says to book passport appointments, or see more passport times, at usps.com/scheduler ^[3].
• Naperville address, outside city limits: Naperville Retail Book Road Post Office, 3075 Book Rd., Suite 103, 60564, 630-955-9539, has a Naperville mailing address. The geocoder matched it at ZIP 60540 in DuPage County but not inside any incorporated place, so we left it out of the table; confirm the location before you go ^[3][4].
• Library: we didn't find a library in the locator data for Naperville ^[3].
• Post office fees (national): a $35.00 acceptance fee and a $15.00 photo fee "if needed" ^[14].
• Faster return delivery (national): two official pages list different prices. USPS lists "$22.05—1- to 3- day delivery service for faster return shipping to you from the State Department" ^[14]. The State Department's fee page lists 1–3 business day return delivery at $26.87, for passport books only ^[15]. We couldn't re-read the State Department page on Oct 31, 2026, because it blocked our check. Confirm the fee with the acceptance facility before you pay.

See the passport checklist and passport photo prices.

Birth, death, marriage, court and recorded-document copies

Birth and death records (statewide rules)

• Who issues them (statewide): the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) Division of Vital Records in Springfield issues birth and death certificates, and it says you may also contact the county clerk where the event occurred ^[8][16].
• IDPH birth certificate fees (statewide): $15 or $10 for the first certified copy, depending on the version, and $2 for each additional copy of the same certificate ordered at the same time. A genealogical copy is $10 ^[8][17], and a commemorative birth certificate is $40 ^[17].
• Which version costs what (IDPH pages differ): IDPH's birth certificate page says $15 gets the information collected at the time of birth, and $10 gets a set list of items (name, date and place of birth, parents' details, file date and state file number) ^[8]. IDPH's fee schedule calls the $15 version the long form, a full copy of the original record, and the $10 version the short form, a computer-generated abstract, but it places the item list beside the $15 version ^[17]. Ask IDPH or the county clerk which version you need before you order.
• IDPH death certificate fees (statewide): $19 for a full certified copy and $4 for each additional copy ^[16][17].
• IDPH by mail: Illinois Department of Public Health, Division of Vital Records, 110 W Lawrence Ave., Springfield, IL 62704-2610; pay by check or money order payable to IDPH ^[8]. IDPH says mail requests take about 12 weeks from when it gets your paperwork. For urgent needs, it says to send the request by overnight delivery with proof of immediate need and a prepaid overnight return envelope; certified copies are then processed in 5 to 7 business days ^[16].
• IDPH online: through VitalChek, with a major credit card. On the death certificate page IDPH lists a $15.00 handling fee, plus $22.00 if you choose UPS delivery ^[16].
• Office move (past): IDPH's Springfield office at 925 East Ridgley Avenue closed, and the new office at 110 W Lawrence Avenue opened on September 14, 2026 ^[16].

DuPage County Clerk (events in DuPage County)

• Fees: birth and marriage certificates are $14.00 for the first certified copy and $2.00 for each additional copy ordered at the same time. Death certificates are $18.00, and $6.00 for each additional copy ^[5].
• In person: 421 N. County Farm Road, Wheaton, Monday–Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; fill out the request form before you go. The Clerk takes cash or check; cards add a 3.5% transaction fee ^[5]. Vital records phone: 630-407-5500 ^[18].
• By mail: DuPage County Clerk, P.O. Box 1028, Wheaton, IL 60187, with the request form, a photocopy of valid ID and a check or money order payable to the DuPage County Clerk. The Clerk can't take vital-record orders by phone, email or fax ^[5].
• Online: through VitalChek, which charges a $10.00 service fee ^[5].
• Who can order: the Clerk holds only DuPage County births and deaths. Death certificates go to direct relatives or people who can prove a financial interest ^[5].
• Free birth certificates: homeless people and others in qualifying circumstances born in DuPage County can ask for a free certified copy of their birth record, with verification by an agency ^[5].

Marriage licenses

• Marriage records (statewide): IDPH doesn't issue certified copies of marriage records; they come from the county clerk in the county where the marriage happened. IDPH can verify the facts of a marriage from 1962 on for $5 ^[19].
• When a license is valid (statewide law): Illinois law says a marriage license becomes effective in the county where it was issued one day after it is issued, unless a court orders otherwise, and expires 60 days after it becomes effective ^[20].
• DuPage County Clerk: the license is $35.00. The Clerk takes cash or check; cards add a 3.5% fee. Complete the online application first, then both of you appear together at 421 N. County Farm Road, Wheaton, with the confirmation and valid government ID, Monday–Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. No appointment is needed, but licenses aren't issued after 4:00 p.m. ^[6].
• Timing: the license takes effect the day after it's issued and is valid for 60 days, only in DuPage County. Get it at least 1 day before the ceremony; the Clerk can't waive the wait. For a courthouse ceremony, register for the ceremony before you apply ^[6].
• Ceremony in the Will County part: a DuPage license can't be used in any other county ^[6], so couples marrying in the Will County part of Naperville should ask the Will County Clerk.

Recorded documents and court copies (DuPage County)

• DuPage County Recorder, recording: deeds, mortgages, easements, leases and miscellaneous documents are $86.00 each. Nonstandard documents are $112.00, and maps or plats are $110.00. Recording a DD-214 military discharge, and certified copies of it, is free ^[21].
• DuPage County Recorder, copies: $0.50 a page, plus $5.00 to certify a document. A $5.00 service fee per document applies to phone, email, fax and mailed requests ^[21].
• DuPage County Circuit Clerk: copies are $2.00 for page 1, $0.50 a page for pages 2–20 and $0.25 a page after that, plus $6.00 per document certification. The Clerk says the copy costs are the same online, in person or by mail; online orders go through i2File ^[22].
• Circuit Clerk fee schedule: a record search is $6.00, and the mailing fee is $10.00 plus postage. The schedule's header says fees took effect September 11, 2026 (past), while its page footer says "revised 05/07/2024" ^[23]. Confirm current fees with the Circuit Clerk.

Apostilles (statewide)

• Fee (statewide law): Illinois law sets the Secretary of State's fee for a certificate or apostille, with seal, at $2 ^[24].
• Rules (statewide law): requests go on the Secretary of State's form with the fee. The office may refuse a document that isn't an original, isn't properly certified or notarized, or is meant for use in the U.S. or in a country that isn't part of the Hague Convention ^[25].
• Where and how long: we couldn't read the Illinois Secretary of State's apostille pages on Oct 31, 2026; the site didn't respond to our checks. Confirm addresses, hours and processing times with the Secretary of State before you send documents.
