Expungement of Tooele County Criminal Records
Utah law allows qualifying Tooele County criminal court records to be sealed or expunged. Two paths are available: automatic expungement through the Clean Slate Act and petition-based expungement through the court.
Utah's Clean Slate Act, which took effect in February 2022, automatically seals many low-level Tooele County criminal court records. The state reviews eligible records and seals them without requiring the person to file a petition. Qualifying records include many misdemeanor convictions and arrests not leading to conviction. Not all Tooele County records are eligible. Clean Slate Utah explains which record types qualify and gives status updates on the program. If your Tooele County criminal court record does not qualify for automatic sealing, you can petition the Third District Court in Tooele city. BCI processes the expungement paperwork after the court grants the order. The full process and forms are available at bci.utah.gov/expungements.
Once expunged, Tooele County criminal court records are sealed from public access. They are removed from standard XChange searches and BCI criminal history reports for general public use. Certain law enforcement agencies may still access sealed records under specific conditions permitted by Utah law.
