Highlight In Legal Utah Expungement Forms For Free

The BCI states that the application fee for requesting a certificate will cost $65.00. Additionally, if the BCI determines that you are eligible to receive a certificate, there will be an additional $65.00 fee charged for each conviction that a person wishes to expunge.

To start the process, there is a $65 application fee that must be paid at time when you submit the application. Upon review, if you are eligible for certificate(s), a $65 fee will be charged to each case (conviction & plea in abeyance). No is no certificate fees for dismissals, acquittals, or declinations.

While some individuals will be eligible for automatic expungement, individuals with certain types of misdemeanors or felony records will not qualify and must go through the court based process or obtain a pardon. Utah's Expungement Act sets forth the rules for expunging criminal records under Utah law.

It can take several months for BCI to process your request. Once you receive your certificate, you will have 180 days from when it was issued to file it, along with the Petition to Expunge Records, with the court. If the certificate expires, you will have to request a new one.

You must first obtain a certificate of eligibility from the Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification (BCI), before filing a petition to expunge records. Your expungement eligibility will be based upon your total criminal history, not just what has been reported to the Bureau of Criminal Identification.

It takes about six months for the BCI to process expungement applications. Once your application is processed, a Utah court will need to hold a hearing to determine whether your petition for expungement will be granted.
