Device Examination Request

We have a new evidence management system that will streamline our evidence submission and return process. Beginning August 24th 2026 all evidence submitted to the DFCL lab must follow this new procedure. You will receive your department logins and user guides the week before. If you have not used our services before, please contact the Support Specialist to be added to the system.

Any evidence submitted to the lab without a DFCL assigned case number will be returned.

The DFCL lab specializes in the chip-off process. Before submitting a device for chip-off be aware of how the courts in your area view the process. A best practice is to include chip-off verbiage in your warrant.

The DFCL accepts mobile devices for examination from US law enforcement agencies. We accept computers on a limited basis from Utah based agencies only. See below for cost.

DFCL does not accept devices from Private labs or non-law enforcement organizations at this time. 

To submit a device for examination:

1. Click link and login to fill out form. https://fileonq.crm.utahtech.edu/  Email must be your department email NOT your personal email.
2. You will receive an email once your device(s) is assigned UT-DFCL case number. PRINT that email to bring with evidence.  New system send emails automatically at the top of each hour once case number has been assigned. DO NOT submit any evidence to DFCL before receiving this case number.
3. Once you have a UT-DFCL case number, you can drop off or mail your device(s), a copy of the warrant/consent, and your contact information(business card will suffice).
