St. George, Utah document errands: printing, fax, notary, passports and certified copies (2026)
Where to print, fax, notarize, apply for a passport and get certified copies in St. George, Utah, using only official and provider pages. Each fact links to its source. Some facts are statewide or national rather than local. We label those. Utah rules differ from Colorado's and Wyoming's in several places, and we point those out.

Which offices serve St. George: St. George is in Washington County. Its public library is the St. George Branch of the Washington County Library System, 88 West 100 South [2]. The Washington County Clerk (passports, marriage licenses and a notary) and the Washington County Recorder are both at 111 East Tabernacle St. [7][8]. The county notes that its Clerk "is not the Clerk of the Courts" [7]. Birth and death certificates are handled by the Southwest Utah Public Health Department, 620 South 400 East #400 [9]. We couldn't load that department's own website when we checked, so its details here come from the state's list.
Short version: the St. George library faxes for $1.00 for the first page and prints black and white for $0.15 a side [1]. The Washington County Clerk takes passport applications Mon–Fri 8:30 a.m.–4 p.m., with photos for $17, and lists notary service at $10.00 per signature [4][5]. A marriage license is $50.00, including one certified copy [6]. Utah birth certificates are $25.00 for the first copy (statewide fee) [10].

Address and phone: 111 East Tabernacle St., (435) 301-7220 [7]. We didn't find the Clerk's notary hours or whether you need an appointment.
- Library: we didn't find notary service on the Washington County Library pages we checked.
- The UPS Store: the 1812 W Sunset Blvd store lists notary service [19]. We didn't find its price.
- Utah fee limits (statewide): under Utah Code 46-1-12, a notary may charge at most $10 per signature for an acknowledgment or jurat, $10 per page for a certified copy, $10 per person for an oath or affirmation without a signature, and $10 for each signature witnessing. A remote notarization can cost up to $25. A travel fee, up to the federal mileage rate, is allowed only if the notary explains it and you agree in advance.

- Appointments at the county: the Clerk calls itself "an appointment based facility," and appointments are required for parties larger than two. A single application can take up to 30 minutes, so if you come without an appointment with one or two applications, the county asks you to arrive earlier in the day [4].

- Minors: for a child under 16, both parents listed on the birth certificate must come with photo ID, and the child must be present. If one parent can't come, that parent can fill out a Statement of Consent, sent along with a copy of the front and back of their ID [4].

Birth, death, marriage and recorded-document copies
Birth and death certificates: Southwest Utah Public Health Department
- Who issues them (statewide): the Utah Office of Vital Records and Statistics keeps Utah birth and death records from 1905 to the present. "In person orders can be placed at most Utah Local Health Departments" [11]. Wyoming has only the state office for this; Utah's local counters are closer to Colorado's county public health offices.
- In person in St. George: the state lists the Southwest Utah Public Health Department's Washington County office at 620 South 400 East #400, St. George, UT 84770, phone (435) 986-2557, and marks the department "Appointments required" [9]. We couldn't load swuhealth.org when we checked, so we didn't find its hours or how to book.
- Fees (statewide): a birth certificate is $25.00 for the first certified copy and a death certificate is $35.00, with additional copies $10.00 each if ordered at the same time, under the state fee schedule effective July 1, 2026 [10].
- State office (statewide): online and mail orders are "approximately 6 weeks out," and third-party vendors are not authorized to order for certificate holders [12].
Marriage records and recorded documents: Washington County
- Marriage licenses: the license fee is $50.00, is non-refundable and includes one certified copy. Card payments carry a 2.5% transaction fee with a $1.50 minimum. Both people must appear at the Clerk's Office, 111 East Tabernacle, with proof of age and ID. Office hours are Mon–Fri 8:30 a.m.–4 p.m., and you must be seated with a deputy clerk by 4 p.m. The county is now requesting appointments [6].
- Timing: the license is effective immediately and must be used within 32 days. It can be used anywhere in Utah [6].
- Ceremonies: the marriage page says ceremonies are not performed in the Clerk-Auditor office [6], though the Clerk's fee schedule lists a $25.00 marriage ceremony fee [5]. Call to ask.
- Certified copies: $10 for the first copy and $5 for each additional copy. Marriage licenses are now vital records under Utah law, so only eligible requesters, such as immediate family members or designated legal representatives, can get copies, with a government ID. You can request online, in person or by mail [6].
- Marriage and divorce abstracts (statewide): the state office has marriage and divorce records only from 1978 to 2010 [11], and an abstract is $25.00 [10].
