Online UT Traffic Ticket Search

The state doesn’t offer an online ticket search option, but some counties and cities might. For example, if you were ticketed in Salt Lake City you can search for your traffic ticket by your license plate or driver’s license number. Otherwise, keep reading below for tips on how to track down your Utah citation.

Determine Where You Were Ticketed

If you can recall where you were pulled over, you can search the Utah City and County page on the state’s website.

NOTE: It might also help to contact the issuing law enforcement agency; only the Utah Highway Patrol, county sheriffs’ offices and municipal police departments can issue citations in UT. If you are ticketed by an agent of the Utah Highway Patrol (UHP), use its online local office finder to track down the office handling your traffic ticket.

Visit the Utah County Website

From the above-mentioned state site, you’ll find a list of local government pages. Once you narrow down the location, look for links to something like Police or Sheriff’s Department. Again, if Utah Highway Patrol issued you the ticket, you’ll need to locate the specific UHP office separately.

Determine How You Will Plead

In Utah, you can plead one of two ways:

• Guilty
• Not guilty

A guilty plea requires you to pay the traffic ticket fines listed on your ticket. You could also face additional points on your driving record. For more on this, check out our page on paying your Utah traffic ticket. Your other option is to plead not guilty and dispute the charges in court. There’s also an option to take a justice court decision one step further by appealing it. For more on these options, visit our page on fighting your UT traffic ticket.
