Expungement of Sevier County Criminal Records
Utah law gives people the right to seal or expunge qualifying criminal court records, including those from Sevier County. Two paths exist: automatic expungement under the Clean Slate Act and petition-based expungement through the court.
Utah's Clean Slate Act, which took effect in February 2022, provides automatic expungement for many low-level convictions and arrests that did not result in conviction. The state reviews eligible Sevier County records and seals them without requiring a petition. Not every record qualifies. Clean Slate Utah explains which convictions are covered and provides updates on the program's progress. If your Sevier County criminal court record does not qualify for automatic expungement, you can file a petition through the Sixth District Court in Richfield. BCI processes the paperwork once the court grants the expungement order. Forms and instructions are available at bci.utah.gov/expungements.
Once a Sevier County record is expunged, the court seals the file and BCI removes it from the statewide criminal history. The record is no longer accessible through standard public searches or XChange lookups. Some law enforcement agencies may still access sealed records under specific legal circumstances allowed by Utah law.
