Per Utah Code Section 77-7-3, any person against whom an active warrant has been issued is subject to arrest at any time. Bench warrants are issued when someone fails to appear in court as required.

If you believe a warrant has been issued in your name, contact the Justice Court or the Sheriff's Office as soon as possible. Unresolved warrants remain active indefinitely until cleared by the court or until the subject is taken into custody.
Note: Warrant searches should always be verified with the issuing court or Sheriff's Office. Third-party warrant data may not reflect same-day updates.
