Salt Lake County Expands Free ID and Legal Aid Clinics for School-Related Access

14 October 2026

Salt Lake City and Salt Lake County are expanding access points for essential free public and nonprofit services that help Hispanic families navigate ID requirements, immigration forms, and brief legal matters that can affect school enrollment and family stability.

The publicly listed resources direct community members to established government and non-profit providers, such as the Utah Driver License Division, Legal Aid Society of Salt Lake, and immigration clinics offered by the Rose Park Community Center and Catholic Community Services. Salt Lake County and Salt Lake City have worked to make these providers and their services more visible as conditions in the Salt Lake Valley improve.

Navigating ID and Legal Assistance Options

The Utah Driver License Division offers state-issued identification cards and driver licenses. Legal Aid Society of Salt Lake provides free legal assistance in the area, available by phone, email and at Matheson Courthouse for appointments. The University of Utah's S.J. Quinney College of Law offers free legal advice clinics scheduled at various community locations.

Caseworkers can assist with immigration-related questions through several listed organizations, or help families find a clinic through the Utah Courts website.

At the Rose Park Community Center, clients can access a free monthly immigration clinic on the first Wednesday of each month from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM. Catholic Community Services also offers a free immigration clinic on the second Thursday of each month at their location at 745 East 300 South, Salt Lake City.
