Common Questions About Utah County Court Records
How do I search Utah County court records online?
Use Utah Courts Xchange for public district and justice court case information. It shows parties, judges, attorneys, documents filed, hearings, judgments, and outcomes. If you are a party to a case, use MyCourtCase instead, since it is free and shows your case history and filed papers. Court calendars are separate and best for upcoming hearings. The court records page walks through each tool step by step.
Is Xchange free to use?
Xchange has a guest option with a Pay Now step, plus account and subscription access. It is not fully free for public searching. MyCourtCase is free, but only for parties and eligible roles. Public courthouse terminals may also be available at most district court locations for in-person access. See the court records page for the difference between guest, account, and party access.
What records are not on Xchange?
Xchange does not show records that are closed to the public. That includes sealed cases, adoptions, civil commitments, expunged cases, and juvenile delinquency, child welfare, and termination of parental rights matters. Many domestic records, such as divorce, custody, and paternity, became private under court rule. The court records page explains which parts of a case stay open and which do not.
How do I get a certified copy of a court record?
Use the Utah Courts Request a Court Record process, or contact the clerk at the court where the case is filed. Paper copies are $0.25 per sheet, and staff time may apply after the first 15 free minutes. Non-public records require a review and identification. The Clerk of Court page covers the request steps and the full fee schedule.
How long does a court-record request take?
Utah Courts says the court responds as soon as possible and usually within 10 business days. If the request needs staff time, the court contacts you to arrange payment first. If non-public access is denied, the court sends information about your options. The court records page describes the request and response process in more detail.
Where is the main Utah County district courthouse?
The Provo Fourth District Court is at 137 North Freedom Blvd, Provo, UT 84604, and its phone is 801-429-1000. It has 16 courtrooms and 13 judges. The county also has district courthouses in American Fork and Spanish Fork. The District Court page lists all three locations with addresses and phone numbers.
Can I record a court hearing?
No, not without permission. Utah court rules bar recording, photographing, or transmitting court proceedings, including remote hearings, without authorization. A violation can be treated as contempt. The public can still attend most hearings, and some run online with a posted link. The court dockets page explains remote hearings and the recording rule.
How do I find an inmate in the Utah County Jail?
Use the Utah County Arrested Person Search. Search by name or arrest date, or open the current inmates list. Booking information appears about 24 hours after booking, and a name search covers current and past inmates from the last two years. The inmate records page explains the roster, the booking codes, and visitation.
How do I know if someone was released?
Check the booking page on the Utah County Arrested Person Search for a release date and status code. Status O means released. The release type code can show cash bail, a bail bond, a promise to appear, release by a judge, time served, or a move to another facility. The released inmates page covers release lookups and notifications.
How do I visit a Utah County inmate?
Personal visits are remote video through Securus, started by the inmate. A visitor needs an AdvanceConnect account, a state-issued ID, and a current photo. Video calls run from housing areas between 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m., depending on classification, at $0.19 per minute plus fees. The inmate records page has the full visitation schedule and rules.
How do I search for a Utah County warrant?
The Sheriff points warrant searches to the Utah State Warrants Search at warrants.utah.gov. You can also call the Sheriff's warrant line at 801-851-4065 or 801-851-4034, or email warrants@utahcounty.gov. Always confirm a warrant through an official source before you act. The warrant records page covers warrant types and how to clear one.
Can I clear a warrant by paying online?
Sometimes, depending on the warrant. The Sheriff page has a Pay Warrants link, and a warrant may be resolved by arrest, paying bail, or a promise to appear. A promise to appear is at the deputy's discretion, and the warrant stays active until the person appears in court. The warrant records page explains the options and warns about warrant scams.
How do I find a Utah County marriage license?
Use the Utah County marriage license search. Enter the last name as it appeared on the license, using the maiden or pre-marriage name, with first name optional. If nothing shows, try the spouse's name. The county only has licenses it issued. The marriage and divorce records page covers the search and the application process.
Where do I get Utah County divorce records?
Divorce records are Fourth District Court records, not county clerk records. Public portions may appear on Xchange, but many domestic records are private under court rule. A party can use MyCourtCase, and certified copies or non-public access need a court-record request. The marriage and divorce records page explains how to find a divorce file.
Where are Utah County probate records?
Probate is handled by the Fourth District Court in Utah County, not a separate probate court. Search public summaries on Xchange, use MyCourtCase if you are an eligible party or role, or request copies from the court. Guardianship and conservatorship records may hold private material. The probate records page covers estates, wills, and guardianships.
How do I expunge a Utah criminal record?
Start with the Bureau of Criminal Identification for a Certificate of Eligibility, unless the case is traffic-only and handled directly by the court. File the petition and order with the court, serve the required agencies, and get a signed order. BCI then restricts the public criminal history. The arrest records page covers the full expungement process.
How do I get a Utah driving record?
Use the Utah Driver License Division MVR page. A driving record shows reportable convictions, department actions, and license status. Most information displays for 3 years, while DUI and drug-related charges display for 10 years. Access follows the federal Driver Privacy Protection Act. The traffic court records page explains the difference between a court traffic record and a driver record.
Who prosecutes Utah County criminal cases?
The Utah County Attorney's Office, led by County Attorney Jeff Gray, prosecutes county criminal matters, supports victims, and represents county government. People who cannot afford a lawyer can ask the court for an appointed public defender. The arrest records page covers prosecution, victim services, and the public defender.
