Weber County Sheriff's Office Records and Criminal History
The Weber County Sheriff's Records Section handles all public records requests for arrest data, incident reports, and criminal history checks. The Records Section is open Monday through Friday from 8am to 5pm, excluding holidays. Requests can be submitted online through the county portal or in person at 1400 Depot Drive, Ogden, UT 84401. The Sheriff's Office main address for patrol and administration is 721 West 12th Street, Ogden, UT 84404, reachable at (801) 778-6602. The jail line is (801) 778-6700.
Every written request must include the requestor's name, mailing address, and phone number. You must also describe the specific record you need with enough detail for staff to locate it. A copy of a valid driver's license or government-issued photo ID must be uploaded or provided with the request. These requirements apply to both online submissions and in-person visits.
Criminal history checks are available for a fee of $15.00 with a valid photo ID. This is one of the few services with a flat, published fee. If you have no criminal offense record in Weber County, you may be eligible to receive a Letter of Good Conduct, which the Sheriff's Office issues to qualifying county residents upon request. This letter can be useful for a variety of purposes that require proof of a clean record.

Weber County Inmate Roster and Jail Records
The Weber County Jail inmate roster is published online at webercountyutah.gov/sheriff/roster. The roster is an alphabetical listing that includes each inmate's first, middle, and last name, gender, age, and booking date. Access is free and requires no account. The roster updates as bookings and releases occur throughout the day, making it a reliable starting point for a current custody check.
The VINE system provides an additional layer of inmate tracking. VINE connects to the Weber County Jail roster and sends automatic alerts by phone, text, or email when an inmate's custody status changes. Searching VINE requires the inmate's name or a booking number. Registration for automatic alerts is free and available at any time through the VINE website.
For inmates transferred to state prison from Weber County, the Utah Department of Corrections offender search is the correct lookup tool. State inmates are removed from the county jail roster after transfer. The DOC offender search is free, public, and covers all state prison locations in Utah. It shows current housing location, offense history, and projected release date when available.

Note: The inmate roster at webercountyutah.gov/sheriff/roster is the most current free source for active custody data. VINE is more useful for long-term tracking and automatic notifications when status changes.
GRAMA Records Requests in Weber County
Weber County criminal records are public under the Government Records Access and Management Act (GRAMA). Most Weber County criminal records, however, are classified as private, protected, or controlled under state law, which means not every record is automatically available to any requester. Each request is handled individually based on the nature of the incident and the type of record sought.
Requests can be submitted online through the county portal or delivered in person to the Records Section at 1400 Depot Drive in Ogden. Include your name, address, phone number, a specific description of the record you need, and a copy of your photo ID. The standard 10-day grace period for incident reports means some records are not released immediately after an event occurs.
If the anticipated cost to fulfill a request exceeds $50, the Records Section may require prepayment before processing begins. Fee waivers are available in four circumstances: when the request serves a clear public benefit, when the requester is a member of the media, when the subject is requesting their own record, or when the requester qualifies as impecunious and their legal rights are implicated by the record.
Note: Weber County processes each GRAMA request based on the specific incident or crime involved. Submitting a vague or overly broad request may result in delays or a denial. Be as specific as possible about the date, location, and parties involved in the incident you are researching.
Second District Court and Weber County Court Records
The Second District Court serves Weber County. The courthouse is at 2525 Grant Avenue, Ogden, UT 84401, reachable at 801-395-1079. This court handles felony criminal cases, serious misdemeanors, civil matters, and family court proceedings for all of Weber County. Court records include case filings, hearing schedules, judgments, sentencing data, and final dispositions. Public terminals are available in the courthouse lobby for free on-site record access during regular business hours.
The Utah Courts online portal allows name-based and case-number-based searches that include Weber County cases. Non-parties needing detailed access can use the XChange public case search system, which provides broader case data for $5 per name query after creating a free account. Some records are restricted based on classification and may require in-person access.
The Ogden Police Department also generates arrest records that feed into the Weber County criminal records system. Ogden PD is at 2186 Lincoln Avenue, Ogden, UT 84401, reachable at (801) 629-8064. Arrests made by Ogden Police that result in court charges appear in the Second District Court system along with arrests made by the Sheriff's Office.

Weber County Warrant Records
Active warrants in Weber County are part of the public record. The statewide warrant search at secure.utah.gov/warrants lets anyone search by name for outstanding warrants issued in Utah courts, including those from the Second District Court in Ogden. Warrant records list the subject's name, warrant type, issuing court, date issued, the underlying offense, and bond information where applicable.
Bench warrants arise when a person fails to appear in court for a scheduled hearing. Arrest warrants reflect a judge's finding of probable cause that a person committed a specific crime. Both types remain active until resolved by the court or the subject is taken into custody. If you believe a warrant may exist in your name, contact the Weber County Sheriff's Office at (801) 778-6602 or visit the Records Section at 1400 Depot Drive to confirm the status.
Note: Warrant data from the court and Sheriff's Office systems may update at different intervals. Checking both sources provides the most complete and current view of outstanding warrant status for any Weber County case.
Utah BCI and Full Criminal History for Weber County
The Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification (BCI) at (801) 965-4445 maintains the complete statewide criminal history database, including all Weber County criminal records entered into the state system. A BCI report covers every county in Utah, including all Weber County arrests, bookings, and convictions processed through the court and law enforcement system.
Fingerprint-based BCI submissions produce the most accurate results. Name-only searches can miss records caused by aliases or data entry variations in older files. BCI processes personal record requests and handles submissions from courts, the Sheriff's Office, and other authorized agencies under separate access protocols.

BCI maintains the most comprehensive statewide criminal history and is the single best source for a person's full Utah record including all Weber County activity across every offense type and court level.
Note: BCI fingerprint-based checks are more accurate than name searches and are recommended when a complete, verified criminal history is needed for Weber County or any other Utah jurisdiction.
Expungement of Weber County Criminal Records
Some Weber County criminal records may qualify for expungement through the Utah court system. The Utah Courts expungement guide explains eligibility, the petition process, and what happens after a record is sealed. Expungement removes a record from public view after a court issues a sealing order and BCI updates its system accordingly.
Not all offenses qualify. Serious felonies, violent crimes, and sex offenses typically cannot be expunged. The process requires a BCI review before a judge approves the petition, and waiting periods based on offense type must be met. Once expunged, a Weber County criminal record will no longer appear in most public searches, including the online inmate roster and the Utah Courts portal.
Cases filed in the Second District Court in Ogden are eligible for an expungement petition through that court when the offense and case outcome meet the legal standards. Contact BCI or the Second District Court clerk's office for information on how to begin the petition process.
Note: Even after expungement, law enforcement agencies may still have access to sealed records under certain legal circumstances. Review BCI's guidance on the scope of expungement before deciding whether to file a petition for a specific Weber County case.
