Utah Release and Authorization is a legal document that allows individuals and businesses to provide access to their personal or business records. It is typically used by employers, credit reporting agencies, lenders, and other third-party entities to obtain background information about a potential employee, tenant, or customer. The document serves as a release of liability for the owner of the records, and it authorizes the third party to access and use the records. There are two types of Utah Release and Authorization documents: the Employee Release and the Tenant Release. The Employee Release is used by employers when they are conducting a background check on a potential employee. The Tenant Release is used by landlords when performing background checks on potential tenants.
