From the 1850s to 1874 immigrants in territorial Utah typically filed for naturalization in the probate courts. Due to problems between the federal government and members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, most members went to probate courts because the judges were usually members of the Church, which made it easier to become citizens. From the 1850s to 1896 federal district courts were also used. Other courts, such as county courts, were occasionally used for the naturalization process. | From the 1850s to 1874 immigrants in territorial Utah typically filed for naturalization in the probate courts.

Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who applied for naturalization during the 1870s and 1880s were often denied because of polygamy. This was seldom a problem after the Manifesto of 1890 when polygamy ended. | Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who applied for naturalization during the 1870s and 1880s were often denied because of polygamy.
