Utah Public Records at a Glance
Utah puts its records behind clean statewide systems. District court dockets are in Xchange, the judiciary's subscription index, with free basic lookups available — the split is explained on the Utah court records page. The Bureau of Criminal Identification handles criminal history requests, mostly consent-based; Utah has no open public rap sheet search. Birth and death certificates come from the Office of Vital Records and Statistics. County recorders keep deeds in all 29 counties, and most counties publish free parcel maps and ownership data through their own or the state's portals. Utah's lieutenant governor doubles as the elections office, so voter-roll requests route there rather than to a secretary of state. 123 official databases below.

Frequently Asked Questions
How are public records organized in Utah?▼
Utah keeps public records at three levels: federal (FBI, federal courts via PACER), state (court of last resort, state police, department of health, secretary of state), and county-level (sheriffs, clerks, recorders, assessors). Each county maintains its own court, criminal-justice, property, and vital-records offices linked from the county pages below.
Where do I start an Utah court-case search?▼
For statewide trial-court information, start at the Utah State Courts: www.utcourts.gov. Utah federal cases are searched through PACER. For local case dockets, see the Court Records tab and the county page for your area.
How do I get an official Utah background check?▼
Utah's official statewide criminal-history check is run by the Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification (BCI) at bci.utah.gov. Most state-level checks require fingerprints and a fee. A nationwide FBI Identity History Summary is available separately.
Where do I obtain Utah birth, death, or marriage certificates?▼
Certified Utah vital records are issued by the Official Utah Vital Records at vitalrecords.utah.gov. Recent local events (births, deaths, marriages) can often also be requested from the county clerk or local registrar where the event was filed.
What does it cost to access Utah public records?▼
Most online record indexes in Utah are free to search; fees apply for certified copies, fingerprint background checks, full document images at the recorder, and statewide bulk data. Each agency publishes its current fee schedule — for example the Utah State Courts (courts), the Official Utah Vital Records (vital records), the Official Utah Voter Records (elections), and the Official Utah Professional & Occupational Licenses (licenses).
