Request to Register

A Request to Register is a legal document filed to seek official recognition and enforcement of a foreign court order or judgment in Utah. This request is often used when a party has obtained a court order from another state or country and needs to have it registered with Utah’s courts to enforce its terms locally. The request ensures that the out-of-state order is legally recognized and enforceable in Utah.

The filing party must provide a copy of the foreign order, along with any required documentation proving that the order is valid and enforceable in its originating jurisdiction. The court will review the request to ensure that the foreign order complies with Utah’s legal standards and is eligible for registration. Once registered, the foreign order has the same legal effect as if it were issued by a Utah court.

After the Request to Register is approved, the foreign order can be enforced in Utah, allowing the party to seek legal remedies or enforcement actions within the state. This process helps streamline the enforcement of out-of-state judgments and ensures that legal decisions made elsewhere are recognized and upheld in Utah.
