How to run a background check in Utah

Criminal history: statewide criminal history checks come from the Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification.

Court records: case files stay with the clerk of the court that heard the case; start with the Utah State Courts.

Vital records: certified birth and death certificates come from the Utah Office of Vital Records and Statistics.

Licenses, businesses and property: the Utah Division of Professional Licensing keeps professional license records.

Employment, tenant, credit or insurance decisions: use a consumer reporting agency that follows the FCRA. PublicRecordCenter.com is a directory of official sources, not a consumer reporting agency; your rights are on the Background Check Help page.
