Westminster, Colorado document errands: printing, fax, notary, passports and certified copies (2026)

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

Not affiliated, not legal advice. Errand Desk isn't affiliated with the City of Westminster, Westminster Public Library, Adams County, the Adams County Health Department, Jefferson County, USPS, the U.S. Department of State or any business named here. This page is general information. Hours and fees change, so call or check the source before you go.

Which offices serve Westminster: Westminster is split between two counties. The City Clerk's office says the city "coordinates with both Jefferson and Adams counties" on elections ^[6], and Adams County lists "parts of" Westminster among the communities it serves ^[9]. The city runs its own library, Westminster Public Library, with two branches, College Hill and Irving Street ^[3]. This page covers those branches, not Anythink or Jefferson County Public Library. For county offices, which one you use depends on which county you live in or where the record was filed. Search results for Westminster, California, Maryland and London also turn up, so check that a result says Colorado.

Short version: Westminster Public Library gives you 25 free printed pages a day, plus free local and toll-free faxing and free scanning to a flash drive ^[1]. Westminster City Hall takes passport applications by appointment ^[5]. The Adams County Health Department issues birth certificates for any Colorado county ^[11].
