Being a convicted of a crime has serious ramifications in your life. Utah has very generous laws concerning when you can get an expungement of your convictions or arrests. Expunging your Utah criminal convictions means erasing them from the public eye, where only government and law enforcement can see them. It does not erase the past, it just restrict who can see them and how you can answer questions regarding them.
Here is how and when you can expunge your Utah criminal convictions or criminal charges that did not lead to a conviction
The Utah Expungement Process:
(1). Get fingerprints. Any police station will work.
(2). File an application with the Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification.
(3). Obtain an Eligibility Certificate from the BCI.
(4). File a petition with the court that convicted you.
(5). Obtain consent of the prosecutor, or have the judge decide if your crimes should be expunged.
(6). Serve certified copies of the court order expunging your criminal convictions on all agencies that were involved. Jails, courts, prison, police agencies, etc.
(V). Benefits. When your criminal convictions are expunged can you truthfully answer questions about your criminal past as if they did not occur.
