Expungement of Summit County Criminal History

Expungement removes a criminal history record from public view in Utah. Utah's Clean Slate law, effective February 2022, allows for automatic expungement of certain eligible records. For other cases, you can file a petition through the court. The court filing fee for an expungement petition is $135, and BCI charges $65 for an expungement certificate. Visit utcourts.gov/howto/expunge for forms and instructions that apply to Summit County cases.

Eligibility depends on the type of offense and how much time has passed. Felonies, misdemeanors, and infractions each have different waiting periods. Juvenile records and some lower-level offenses may qualify under Clean Slate for automatic processing without a court petition. Contact the Third District Court clerk in Summit County to ask about the status of a specific case or to pick up expungement forms.

Note: An expungement does not erase all records. Law enforcement agencies may still see sealed records in certain circumstances under Utah law.
