Utah is extremely liberal on expunging criminal records and convictions.  You just can’t have:

2 or more felonies (other than drug possession)?

3 or more crimes (other than drug possession), and 2 of those crimes are class A misdemeanors?

4 or more crimes (other than drug possession), and 3 of those crimes are class B misdemeanors?

5 or more crimes of any degree (other than drug possession)?

3 or more felonies for drug possession?

5 or more crimes of any degree for drug possession?

That is a lot.  And there are lots of 402 reduction motions you can file to try to make yourself fit the statutory scheme for maximum convictions.

                How Long is the Waiting Period to Finish an Expungement Completely in Utah?

For a criminal conviction, once your statutory waiting period is over, the entire process takes 3-4 months.  Depending on how fast you return the application.
