The Utah apostille office is in Salt Lake City
Utah apostilles come from the Office of the Lieutenant Governor, and its Authentications office sits in the State Capitol at 350 North State Street, Suite 220. For someone in Salt Lake City that means the in-person option is in your own city, although the office says it does not take walk-ins and you need to book an appointment.
In-person requests are listed at $20 per document, plus $5 for each additional document from the same signer, and take from 15 minutes to 2 hours. Mail-in requests are $5 per document and typically take 1 to 3 business days after receipt. USPS mail goes to PO Box 142325, Salt Lake City, UT 84114. The office warns that USPS mail is delayed by state security processing and suggests FedEx, UPS or its online ordering instead.
The office will not authenticate a document notarized by an out-of-state notary. If a translation must be notarized for a Utah apostille, we hire a notary commissioned in Utah to notarize the translator’s statement. The Lieutenant Governor’s office does not translate documents and does not require an English translation, so the need for one comes from the country receiving your papers.
Where Salt Lake City records come from
Before translating a Utah record for use abroad, check whether the recipient wants a fresh certified copy.

Courts in Salt Lake City
The state district court for Salt Lake City sits in the Matheson Courthouse, 450 South State Street. The U.S. District Court for the District of Utah has its headquarters at 351 South West Temple, where all of its district judges have chambers.
Utah’s state courts appoint interpreters for people with limited English proficiency and accept interpreter requests online in English, Spanish and Vietnamese. Interpreting covers what is said in the hearing. For written evidence in another language, ask the clerk or your lawyer what form of translation the judge expects, since we found no published local standard.
Consulate and university requirements
The Consulate of Mexico in Salt Lake City is at 660 South 200 East, Suite 300. Mexico’s foreign ministry lists its jurisdiction as all Utah counties plus nine counties in Wyoming. Consulates set their own document rules, so confirm with the consulate whether it wants a translation and in which direction.
The University of Utah tells international applicants: if documents are not originally issued in English, you must provide a certified English translation as well as all original language transcripts. The university does not endorse particular translation services.
Immigration filings from Salt Lake City
USCIS applies one national rule. Under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), each foreign-language document must be accompanied by a full English translation that the translator certifies as complete and accurate, and by the translator’s certification of competence in both languages. Notarization is not part of that regulation.
