Expunging Taylorsville Felony Convictions

Capital felonies, most first degree felonies, and certain violent offenses cannot be expunged. For eligible cases, expungement removes the conviction from public records and seals the court file.
Start the expungement process by applying for a certificate of eligibility at bci.utah.gov/expungements. The BCI office in Taylorsville at 4315 South 2700 West can assist with questions about eligibility. Once BCI issues the certificate, you file the expungement petition with the 3rd District Court.

Note: The Utah Courts XChange system reflects expungements once courts update their records. After a successful expungement, a Taylorsville felony conviction will no longer appear in public court searches.
