GRAMA Requests for Weber County Criminal Records
Utah's Government Records Access and Management Act (GRAMA) controls public records access in Weber County. Under GRAMA, criminal court records at the district court level are generally open to the public. Law enforcement records from the Sheriff may be classified as private, protected, or controlled depending on the nature of the case and whether it is still active.
Weber County's GRAMA process is managed through the Clerk/Auditor's Office at 2380 Washington Boulevard, Suite 320, Ogden, UT 84401. The main office phone is 801-399-8400. Each county department stores its own records and has its own GRAMA contact. The county encourages all electronic submissions through the NextRequest portal to keep processing times short and provide clear communication.
Weber County's fee schedule for GRAMA requests includes the following common charges: police and accident reports cost $15.00; requests up to 30 pages cost $15.00 with $0.50 per additional page; mug shots are $10.00 for up to nine per page; audio and video recordings are $35.00 per case; and CSI photos are $35.00 per case on CD. Certified copies are $10.00 each. Prepayment is required when estimated costs exceed $50. Staff time is charged at the rate of the lowest-paid employee with the skills needed to fulfill the request.

BCI Criminal History Records in Weber County
The Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification compiles statewide criminal history records that include all Weber County cases. A BCI record covers arrests, charges, convictions, and dispositions from courts and law enforcement throughout Utah. It is a broader check than a single-county search and is useful when you need a complete picture of someone's Utah criminal history.
BCI is at 3888 West 5400 South, Taylorsville, UT 84129, and can be reached at 801-965-4445. As of July 2025, a name-based criminal history check costs $20. A fingerprint-based check, which is more complete and harder to mistake due to similar names, costs $33.25. You can start the process at bci.utah.gov/criminal-records. Applications require a notarized signature, and processing takes about three to four weeks.
Weber County residents who want only their own criminal history can request a Utah Criminal History Check through the Weber County Sheriff's Records Section for $15. This is a faster and cheaper option for self-checks limited to one county's law enforcement database. It does not replace a full BCI statewide search.
Expungement of Weber County Criminal Records
Utah law allows people to seal or expunge certain criminal records, including cases filed in Weber County's Second District Court. An expungement removes the record from standard public searches. It is available for qualifying misdemeanor and felony convictions once all sentence conditions are met and the required waiting period has ended. Eligibility depends on the type of charge and your prior criminal history in Utah.
Begin the expungement process at bci.utah.gov/expungements. BCI reviews your full Utah criminal history and issues a Certificate of Eligibility if you meet the criteria. You then file that certificate along with a petition for expungement at the Second District Court clerk's office at 2525 Grant Avenue, Ogden. The court notifies the Weber County prosecutor and schedules a hearing. If the prosecutor does not object within the notice period, the judge can sign the expungement order and the record is sealed.
Utah's Clean Slate law automatically seals certain low-level offenses without requiring a petition. Visit cleanslateutah.org to see whether your Weber County conviction qualifies for automatic sealing. If you have questions about whether a specific Ogden or Roy case is eligible, a Utah attorney can review your criminal history and walk you through the petition process step by step.
Note: An expungement from a Weber County court is forwarded to BCI, the Utah Courts system, and local law enforcement agencies to update their records. Private databases and federal records are not required to comply with a state expungement order.
