How to Get Passports in Utah

If you are planning a trip out of the country, you must have a valid passport. You must submit your application for passport in person if you are a first-time applicant, your passport was lost, stolen or damaged or your passport was issued more than 15 years ago. Children under the age of 16 or children who received a passport when they were under the age of 16 also must also apply in person. Applicants in Utah easily can obtain a passport with proper documentation.
