Frequently Asked Questions
Where do I search for Utah public records? ▼
Public records in Utah are not in one place. Court records, property records, and vital records are handled by different offices. Use the court clerk for cases, the County Recorder for ownership and valuations, and the Utah Office of Vital Records or the local registrar for birth, death, or marriage records.
Why does my Utah search return no results? ▼
Results are often missing when you search the wrong database. Court records, property records, and vital records are stored in completely separate systems. Make sure you are in the right one.
Is there a single database for all Utah records? ▼
No. Records in Utah are decentralized across multiple agencies. You must identify the correct office first, then search that specific system.
What is Utah XChange? ▼
XChange at xchange.utcourts.gov is Utah's free statewide court search. Free registration required. Covers criminal, civil, family, probate, and traffic across all 29 counties.
What is the difference between District Court and Justice Court in Utah? ▼
District Court handles felonies, major civil cases, family law, and probate. Justice Court handles misdemeanors, small claims under $11,000, and traffic violations. Both appear in the XChange statewide search system.
