ACCESS TO UTAH STATE CRIMINAL RECORDS

To find out if an individual has a criminal record in the state of Utah we check the state repository, the relevant county criminal court records, and civil court records. 

Twenty-seven (27) of Utah's twenty-nine (29) counties allow public access to criminal records by mail, phone or fax. If the county, or counties, specified can only mail records back to us then there will be an unavoidable delay in processing the record request.
         
In contrast, the state repository allows access to its records only to criminal justice agencies, individuals seeking a copy of their own record and others specifically authorized by law to access. 
             
Felony records and civil case filings involving amounts of $20,000 and more are filed in the District Courts. Circuit Courts handle misdemeanor records and civil case filings involving amounts of under $20,000. In many counties, these (2) courts are housed within the same building. In some counties there is no Circuit Court. Where there is no Circuit  Court, cases normally handled by that court are handled by the District Court for that county. Davis, Salt Lake and Weber County have more than one (1) Circuit Court.
