Yes — most Walmart stores with a Print & Copy Center offer both copying and scanning services. You can make black-and-white or color copies and scan documents to a USB drive, email, or cloud storage. This guide covers pricing, how the process works, and what to do if your local Walmart does not have these services.
Walmart Copying Services
Walmart Print & Copy Centers have self-service or staff-assisted copy machines depending on the location. You can copy standard letter-size (8.5×11) and legal-size (8.5×14) documents in black-and-white or color, single- or double-sided.

How to Copy or Scan at Walmart
- Go to the Print & Copy Center — usually located near the electronics or photo department in the store.
- Place your document on the scanner or copy machine glass, or hand it to a store associate if it is staff-assisted.
- Select Copy or Scan on the kiosk screen.
- Choose your settings: color or black-and-white, paper size, quantity (for copies), or destination (for scanning — USB, email, or cloud).
- Review the preview if available, then confirm.
- Pay at the kiosk or at the counter and collect your copies or retrieve your scanned file.
For scanning, bring a USB drive if you want a local copy of the file. If you prefer to receive it by email, have your email address ready to type at the kiosk.
