How long does a marijuana possession charge stay on your record in Utah?

Your adult criminal history record is permanent and always with you, it doesn't 'go away' after the lapse of time.
A misdemeanor conviction will stay on your record indefinitely unless you take special action. Utah allows for criminal record expunging under the Utah Expungement Act. Expunging of a criminal record allows for it to be sealed from public view. However, government agencies, including the police, can still access the criminal record. This process is used by many individuals, especially since these records can otherwise appear on background checks.
Please keep in mind that this is not an easy process, even though it is technically a civil procedure rather than a criminal one. Eligibility is also not automatic. Individuals convicted of certain violent crimes, sex crimes, felony crimes, and others may not be able to apply. Additionally, there is a waiting period to pursue an expunging in Utah, which varies depending on the class of offense sought to be sealed. This can be anywhere between 3 years for a class C misdemeanor or 7 years for a felony.
