Box Elder County Sex Offender Checks
The Utah Department of Public Safety maintains the Utah Sex, Kidnap, and Child Abuse Offender Registry. Start with the official BCI registry gateway, read the conditions, and continue to the public search. The system can narrow results by name or place, including Box Elder County, Brigham City, Tremonton, Perry, and local ZIP codes. The public listing is a state safety tool, not a complete court or criminal-history file.
Use the sheriff or city police agency for a local registration question. A person supervised by Utah Adult Probation and Parole registers through that structure, while others register with the police or sheriff that has jurisdiction over the residence. The Box Elder County Sheriff's Office at 52 South 1000 West in Brigham City can route local registry and suspected noncompliance questions at 435-734-3800. Call 911 when there is an immediate danger.
Box Elder Registry Jurisdictions
A Box Elder County address does not always mean that the county sheriff is the day-to-day registration office. The right office depends on the city and supervision status. Brigham City, Tremonton, and Perry each have municipal police service, while the sheriff serves county jurisdiction and can route questions when the responsible office is unclear. Search the state registry first. Then read the profile's registering status and jurisdiction before making a local call.

The city setting is a reminder to check whether Brigham City Police, rather than a county counter, has residential jurisdiction.
The Tremonton-Garland Police Department page provides the official department view shown next.
Tremonton residents can use that department contact when a registry profile points to its local jurisdiction.
Utah Sex, Kidnap, and Child Abuse Offender Registry Searches
Utah's registry is often called SONAR at its public search entry. Accept the site's terms before using its fields. Search by a known surname and check spelling or aliases. A place search can use an address, city, ZIP code, or Box Elder County filter. Radius choices and live map controls may change, so read the current labels instead of relying on an old screen. A result should be matched with more than one field.
- Open the DPS registry gateway, follow the public registry link, and accept the conditions of use.
- Enter a name or choose a geographic route. Add Box Elder County, a city, ZIP code, or address to narrow the set.
- Review both map and list results when offered. Compare aliases, the published physical description, status, and registering jurisdiction.
- Open the full profile, read the offense and registration details, then verify a suspected address problem with the responsible police or sheriff.
| Field label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Text | Optional | Surname and first-name search; spell with care |
| Address | Text | Conditional | Geographic search origin |
| City | Text or dropdown | Optional | Use a Box Elder County city |
| ZIP | Text | Optional | Five-digit geographic limit |
| County | Dropdown | Optional | Select Box Elder |
| Radius | Dropdown | Conditional | Options vary in the live interface |
| Map/List | View control | No | Switches the geographic result display |
| Search/Clear | Buttons | Not applicable | Submits or resets the fields |
SONAR and NSOPW in Box Elder
SONAR is the right first layer for a Box Elder County registry search because it reflects Utah's public listing and Utah's status fields. The National Sex Offender Public Website, or NSOPW, searches participating jurisdictions across the country. Use the national layer when a person recently moved, an alias points outside Utah, or the likely place spans a state line. NSOPW does not replace the Utah profile for local registration detail.
The official NSOPW search source appears in the manifest image below.
The national interface adds reach, while the Utah registry remains the place to read Box Elder County status and jurisdiction details.
Search both systems again after a move when the prior state is known. Registration rules can follow an external jurisdiction's duration or the Utah analog, and state updates may not appear at the same moment. Report a mismatch to the proper agency rather than confronting the person named in a profile.
Registry Profiles: What They Show
A Utah public profile displays only the facts authorized by law. The inventory can include identity and aliases, a current photograph, physical traits, registration status, a public address, the registrable offense, conviction information, vehicles, and education links when the statute requires them. Some people who were minors at the time of specified offenses remain registered but are not published to the public. Do not infer that every registration record must appear in a Box Elder County result.
| Name and aliases | Published legal and alternate names used to distinguish a record. |
|---|---|
| Photo and description | Current photograph plus authorized traits such as sex, race, age or birth date, height, weight, hair, and eyes. |
| Status and jurisdiction | Registration or compliance status and the agency or place tied to the listing. |
| Residence | Primary and secondary address details at the level Utah law allows. |
| Offense and court | Registrable offense, statute, conviction date, and court when published. |
| Duration | Registration start, end, or lifetime status when the profile supplies it. |
| Other public fields | Vehicles, schools or institutions, and scars, marks, or tattoos when authorized. |
A narrow phone-number or online-identifier check can return whether an entered value is linked to an offender without disclosing the person's identity through that lookup. Use that limited tool only for its stated purpose.
Box Elder Address Search Limits
A map pin is not a promise that the person is present at that spot. Utah requires registrants to report residence and other changes, but a move, data entry, review, or agency update can take time to reach the public view. Search nearby ZIP codes or the county list, check aliases, and read the profile's jurisdiction. An absent address result is not a guarantee that no registrant lives nearby or that a named person has no qualifying record.
If a Box Elder County profile seems stale, save the public details needed to explain the concern and call the police or sheriff with jurisdiction. Do not visit the address or question a household. The agency can compare the report with its registration records and decide what follow-up is proper. For an immediate threat, use 911 rather than a registry contact.
Note: Registry information can change, so verify a material safety concern with the agency responsible for the displayed jurisdiction.
Registration Levels and Duties in Utah
Utah does not reduce its rules to the three federal SORNA tier labels for public explanation. Under Utah Code section 53-29-203, the main duration groups are based on listed offenses. Some require registration for ten years after the sentence ends. Others require lifetime registration unless a specific relief path applies. External-jurisdiction rules and limited court relief can alter the result. Check the current offense list rather than counting years from a conviction date.
| Utah category | Duration | Routine update | Public treatment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Enumerated ten-year offenses | Ten years after sentence termination | Birth month and sixth month; changes within three business days | Generally public, subject to statutory exceptions |
| Enumerated lifetime offenses | Life unless a specific relief route applies | Same routine | Generally public, subject to exceptions |
| Certain qualifying under-21, non-force cases | A court may substitute ten years for life | Same routine | Depends on the publication statute |
| External-jurisdiction registrants | Foreign duration while required, otherwise the Utah analog | Utah duties apply | Utah publication rules apply |
Section 53-29-304 generally calls for an update in the birth month and again six months later. A change in a primary or secondary home, work, vehicle, or school information is generally due within three business days. A new Utah arrival generally registers within ten days. These broad rules do not decide one person's term or relief eligibility.
Box Elder Registration Contacts
The Box Elder County Sheriff's Office can route local registration and possible noncompliance matters. Its main office and jail are at 52 South 1000 West, Brigham City, Utah 84302, and the main number is 435-734-3800. The county's 2026 schedule lists a $25 registered-offender fee. DPS announced a $125 annual state fee effective in 2025, while the 2026 law permits a department-set fee on or after July 1, 2026. Confirm the live amount instead of adding those figures together or assuming an older notice still controls.
Box Elder County Sheriff's Office
52 South 1000 West
Brigham City, UT 84302
435-734-3800
Call before a visit to confirm the correct registration office, hours, identification, appointment needs, and payment method. A city police agency may be the proper office for a residence inside its boundary. Someone under Adult Probation and Parole supervision follows the AP&P registration route described by Utah law.
Using Registry Information Lawfully
Utah publishes registry information for safety planning and public awareness. Read it with care. A profile reports a qualifying conviction and registration duty, but it does not invite contact with the person or household. Use official agency channels to verify a changed address or possible breach. Never post copied profile details in a way that fuels threats or vigilantism.
Misuse is unlawful: Utah Code Title 53, Chapter 29 bars using registry information to threaten, intimidate, harass, or commit a crime against a registrant or another person.
Utah Code section 53-29-404 defines the public fields and lawful framework. It also helps explain why some registry information is public while other identifying or protected material is not. For a wider explanation of county record types and their access limits, see the Box Elder County criminal history page.
Report Box Elder Registry Problems
When a profile conflicts with a known current fact, first check the spelling, alias, status, and registering jurisdiction. Repeat the place search with the city, ZIP code, and Box Elder County filter. Use NSOPW if a move across state lines is plausible. Then report the concern to the police or sheriff named by the jurisdiction. Give the public profile detail, the nature of the mismatch, and a safe way for the agency to follow up.
Do not attempt to prove noncompliance on your own. Registration deadlines and relief rules depend on facts the public search may not show. The responsible agency can review the protected record and decide whether the entry needs an update or an investigation. Use 911 only for an immediate danger. For a routine Box Elder County routing question, call the sheriff at 435-734-3800 or the municipal department with authority over the displayed address.
Note: A delayed public update and a violation are not the same; the agency must assess the facts under current Utah law.
