Before 1852

No birth records were created for Salt Lake County, Utah by either by county or state civil authorities in this time period.

• See also other records that give birth information, such as Death records, Census, Cemeteries, Obituaries

1890-present

County clerks became responsible for recording births beginning in 1898.^[33] In 1905, the State Department of Health assumed responsibility and required the counties to forward copies of the records to them.

It took a few years after the requirements for people, doctors, midwives, and officials to comply, so some early birth registrations were missed.
