Booking Report Details in Provo
A Provo booking report has several key pieces of information. Each report is created when a person is processed at the Utah County Jail after a Provo arrest. The data in the report becomes part of the public record under Utah law.
A typical Provo booking report includes the full name of the person arrested, their date of birth, and a physical description. It also lists the charges filed, the arresting agency, and the date and time of the booking. Bond information is included when it applies. A booking photo is taken at the jail and kept on file for 30 days in the online system. The report may also note the court date and case number once charges are filed.
Booking reports from Provo are distinct from court records. The booking report covers the arrest and intake at the jail. Court records cover what happens after charges are filed. Both are public records in Utah, but they come from different offices. For court records, check the Utah Court System. For booking data, use the Utah County Jail search or contact Provo Police.
Note: Some personal details in Provo booking reports may be redacted if they fall under a GRAMA exemption, such as medical information or juvenile records.
How Provo Arrests Work
Provo Police officers make arrests within city limits for crimes that range from misdemeanors to felonies. After an arrest, the officer transports the person to the Utah County Jail. The jail staff then creates the booking report. This process is the same for all cities in Utah County.
At the jail, staff record the person's identity, take a photo, and log the charges. The person may be held until a bail amount is set or until a judge orders release. Bail schedules vary by charge. For minor offenses, some people are released on their own recognizance the same day. For serious charges, a person may wait in jail until a court hearing.
The Utah County Jail processes hundreds of bookings each week from Provo and other cities. The Utah County Corrections Division runs the facility. They manage intake, housing, and release of all inmates booked from Provo.
Provo Criminal Records and Expungement

Expungement seals the record so it does not show up in most searches. The Utah BCI expungement page explains the process and lists the forms you need. Eligibility depends on the type of charge and the outcome of the case.
