Utah sets registry periods for out-of-state offenders

Beginning May 6, 2026, Utah changes registration periods for people with qualifying convictions from another jurisdiction. Utah uses that jurisdiction's required registration period if they are listed there, must register there, or would still be listed if living there. Otherwise, Utah's 10-year or lifetime registration rules apply. Using the other jurisdiction's period can mean a shorter or longer registration requirement.
