- Third degree felony: up to 5 years, up to $5,000 fine

Expungement of Ogden Felony Records
Ogden residents who completed a felony sentence may qualify to have the record expunged. Expungement seals the record from standard public searches, including XChange. It does not delete the record, but removes it from the tools most people use to search Ogden felony records.
Start by requesting a certificate of eligibility from the Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification at bci.utah.gov/expungements. BCI reviews your full criminal history to determine if you qualify. Certain offenses are not eligible, including capital felonies, violent first degree felonies, and sex offenses. If BCI issues the certificate, you file a petition at the 2nd Judicial District Court in Ogden. A hearing may be required before the judge rules. Once granted, the specified Ogden felony records are sealed from public access, and BCI updates their database accordingly.
Note: The waiting period before you can apply for expungement depends on the degree of the felony. Third degree felonies have a shorter wait than first degree felonies.
