Criminal Background Checks for Spanish Fork Residents
Spanish Fork residents needing a background check can request one directly from BCI. Name and date of birth searches cost $20. Fingerprint-based searches also cost $20 and are recommended when accuracy is most important, since name searches can return false positives from people with similar names.
BCI operates under Utah Code Title 53, Chapter 10, the Criminal Identification Act. This law defines what information BCI collects, how long it is kept, and who can access what types of records. Criminal history reports from BCI include all Utah arrests and final dispositions, including cases that were dismissed or not prosecuted.
The Utah Department of Corrections provides a separate free tool at corrections.utah.gov/offender-search for searching the state offender database. This is useful for finding information on people who have been incarcerated in Utah state facilities. It is not a substitute for a full BCI criminal history report but is publicly available and easy to use.
For historical criminal records or very old cases, the Utah State Archives may hold transferred records that are no longer in the active court system. The Archives can be a useful last stop when standard searches come up empty.
Expungement for Spanish Fork Residents
Utah law gives Spanish Fork residents the ability to have certain criminal records sealed. The Clean Slate Act of 2022 created automatic sealing for eligible lower-level offenses after a waiting period with no new convictions. If your record does not qualify for automatic sealing, you can pursue a petition.
The petition process starts with getting an expungement eligibility certificate from BCI for $65. Then you file a petition with the Fourth District Court in Provo. The court filing fee is $135. If the petition is approved, BCI seals the record and removes it from public access. Details on the process are at utcourts.gov/howto/expunge.
Most felony convictions involving violence or certain sex offenses are not eligible for expungement. The eligibility certificate from BCI tells you which of your specific charges can be sealed. Do not assume eligibility without checking your own record first.
Note: After an expungement is granted, BCI updates its records within a specified period. The court also seals its own case file from public access at that time.
