Expungement of Davis County Criminal Records
Some Davis County criminal records are eligible for expungement under Utah law. Expungement seals the record from public view and prevents it from showing up in standard criminal records searches. Information on eligibility and the petition process is available on the Utah Courts expungement page. Cases handled by the 2nd District Court in Farmington or the Davis County Justice Court may be eligible depending on the offense and outcome. The Utah BCI reviews all expungement petitions before they go before the court for final approval.
