Bountiful Resident Background Check Access

Bountiful PD can assist with fingerprinting. The Utah Criminal Identification Act at § 53-10-108 sets out how BCI manages and releases these records. Name and date of birth checks run $20. Fingerprint-based checks also cost $20 and are more precise.
Expungement Resources in Bountiful
Utah's Clean Slate Act, which took effect in February 2022, created a path for automatic expungement of qualifying convictions. Bountiful residents with older convictions from Davis County cases may qualify. The Utah Courts expungement guide walks through each step of the petition process and lists which offenses are eligible.
Before filing a petition for expungement, you must obtain a Certificate of Eligibility from BCI. That certificate costs $65. If the petition is approved, the court filing fee is $135. Once granted, the records are sealed in both court and BCI systems. This means most criminal history searches for Bountiful will no longer show the expunged record. Some licensing agencies and law enforcement may still have limited access depending on the circumstances.
Not all records qualify. Violent felonies, sex offenses, and certain DUI convictions do not meet the eligibility criteria. If you are unsure about your record, the Second District Court clerk can provide information on the case, and BCI can confirm what appears in their system. Start your review at utcourts.gov/howto/expunge.
Note: The automatic Clean Slate process reviews eligible cases on a rolling basis, so some Bountiful residents may already have records sealed without filing a petition.
Warrant Records in Bountiful
You can search for active warrants in Bountiful and across all of Utah at secure.utah.gov/warrants. The statewide warrant database is updated by law enforcement agencies and courts throughout the state. Both arrest warrants and bench warrants from Bountiful cases appear in the system once entered by the issuing agency.
Bench warrants are issued when a defendant misses a court date. Arrest warrants are issued based on probable cause in new criminal cases. Either type can lead to an unexpected arrest if not resolved. If you think an active warrant exists in your name, contact the Bountiful Police Department at (801) 298-6056 or call the Second District Court clerk at (801) 447-3800. Addressing a warrant directly is faster and less disruptive than waiting for police contact.
