For arrest records older than 30 days, submit a GRAMA request to the Sheriff's records division.

Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification
For a statewide criminal history that extends beyond Cache County, the Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification is the right resource. The BCI compiles records from courts, law enforcement, and corrections agencies across all of Utah. An individual may request their own criminal history for a $20 fee (effective July 1, 2025). In-person visits require a valid government-issued photo ID. The BCI is at 4315 South 2700 West, Suite 1300, Taylorsville, UT 84129, and is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Call (801) 965-4445 for assistance.
The BCI report covers arrests, charges, and dispositions statewide. It does not duplicate the full case file available from the court clerk, but it gives a comprehensive overview of an individual's criminal history across all Utah jurisdictions, not just Cache County. For people involved in cases across multiple counties, this is the most practical starting point.
The Utah Department of Corrections offers a free offender search tool for anyone who has been supervised or incarcerated by the state corrections system, including people with Cache County felony convictions.
Note: BCI records reflect statewide data and may not include case outcomes pending at the time of the report; always confirm with the court for current case status.Expungement and Clean Slate in Cache County
Criminal court records in Cache County may be eligible for removal from public view through Utah's expungement process. The Clean Slate Utah program, authorized by HB 431 and launched February 10, 2022, automatically expunges qualifying records for eligible individuals without requiring them to file a petition. Qualifying offenses include Class A misdemeanor drug possession, most Class B and C misdemeanors, and infractions, subject to crime-free waiting periods. The waiting periods are five years for Class C misdemeanors and infractions, six years for Class B misdemeanors, and seven years for Class A drug misdemeanors.
Felony records and certain serious misdemeanor offenses are not eligible for automatic expungement under Clean Slate. These require a petition filed with the court. The BCI expungement page outlines the petition process, provides the forms, and explains eligibility criteria for various offense types. Cache County residents can file expungement petitions with the First District Court in Logan. After a successful expungement, the record is removed from XChange and BCI public searches.
If you are unsure whether a specific Cache County case qualifies for expungement, contact the First District Court Clerk at (435) 750-1300 or the BCI at (801) 965-4445 for guidance.
