About Idaho Public Records

Idaho public records are governed by the Idaho Public Records Act (Title 74, Idaho Code), which presumes every record of a state or local agency is open to inspection unless an enumerated exemption in Idaho Code §§ 74-104 through 74-111 applies. Counties hold property, recorded documents, marriage, and most criminal-court files; the Idaho State Police Bureau of Criminal Identification handles statewide criminal history; and the Idaho Supreme Court iCourt portal carries court dockets.
