Can You Print Documents At Walmart? Here’s What You Need to Know

Walmart, one of the largest retailers in the United States, offers more than just groceries and clothing—it’s increasingly becoming a one-stop hub for essential services, including document printing. For shoppers juggling work deadlines, school projects, or personal paperwork, the ability to print documents onsite has transformed Walmart into a practical stop for fast, reliable copying. But can you really print documents at Walmart?

The answer is yes—but with nuances in availability, costs, and operational limits that vary by location. Walmart routinely supports print services, allowing customers to print most standard documents such as resumes, tax forms, ID replicas, and certificates—provided locations offer this convenience. The service, while not universally enabled across every store, reflects a growing trend among big-box retailers to integrate essential printing into the customer experience.

While Walmart never markets a single national policy, field reporting and customer experiences across thousands of U.S. stores reveal a consistent pattern: most Walmart locations equipped with a public services station—often near customer service desks or pharmacies—provide basic printing and scanning. These stations typically support black-and-white laser printing for routine documents, though color and specialty paper options may vary.

The machines used are generally high-speed copiers compatible with standard lab paper sizes, capable of handling standard-sized documents (8.5 x 11 inches) and smaller sizes like A4, depending on the station’s configuration. >“At our Walmart locations in Texas and Florida, you’ll often find printers in the service area that accept a variety of files—from PDFs and Word documents to simple graphics,” says Maria Thompson, a customer services associate at Walmart. “We don’t print contracts or official FDA documents, but everyday prints—like copies for job applications, school registrations, or even race ticketing—come through smoothly.”

Costs are transparent and competitive: most Walmart stores charge around $0.05 to $0.20 per page for black-and-white prints, with color copies priced accordingly.

Some locations offer price breaks when printing multiple pages or using branded paper, encouraging bulk use without surprise fees. Important to note: businesses or specialty prints—such as notarized documents, radiology scans, or notebooks exceeding 50 pages—rarely qualify for onsite assistance and require use of third-party labs or certified facilities. Walmart’s policy prioritizes convenience over comprehensive document services, aligning with its role as a retail and services provider, not a full-scale document center.
