How to Search Idaho Court Records (Start Here)
Idaho court records are filed with the Clerk of the District Court. The District Court / Magistrate Court handles trial-level cases. Idaho offers a statewide court search through iCourt, which covers most case types across all counties courts.
What this page covers: Idaho state court case records — criminal, civil, family, and probate filings. What it does not cover: Federal court cases (those are on PACER) or sealed/juvenile records.
Where to start: Use iCourt for online case search. If you need documents beyond docket information, contact the Clerk of the District Court in the specific county where the case was filed.
Common mistake: iCourt covers state courts only. Federal cases filed in Idaho (bankruptcy, federal criminal, federal civil) require PACER — a separate federal system.

Idaho's trial courts publish case lookups through the Idaho Judicial Branch. Start at isc.idaho.gov — most case dockets, filings, and hearing calendars are searchable by name, case number, or filing date. County-level clerks publish additional searches; see the cards below for direct county court links.
Is there a free statewide court case search in Idaho?▼
The Idaho Judicial Branch operates Idaho's official statewide judicial portal at isc.idaho.gov. Basic case lookups are typically free of charge; certified copies and bulk-data exports may incur a per-document or per-search fee. Federal cases for Idaho residents are searched separately through PACER.
What's the difference between trial and appellate courts in Idaho?▼
Trial courts in Idaho handle the original filing of civil, criminal, family, probate, and traffic matters. Appellate courts review questions of law from trial-court decisions. The Idaho Judicial Branch publishes the full court structure, judge rosters, and jurisdiction maps at isc.idaho.gov.
How far back do Idaho court records go online?▼
Online coverage varies by court and case type. Most Idaho county courts have digitized records from approximately the late 1990s or early 2000s forward; older case files may require an in-person clerk visit or a written record request. Check the Idaho Judicial Branch portal at isc.idaho.gov for each court's coverage window.
Are sealed or expunged Idaho cases visible in the online search?▼
No. Idaho courts redact or remove sealed, expunged, juvenile, and certain confidential records from public-facing searches as required by state statute and court rule. If a record was previously visible and has since been sealed, it will no longer appear in the Idaho Judicial Branch portal. For verification you can contact the county clerk where the case was filed.
