Court Records Idaho – How to Open Up ID Court Records

Sometimes, searching for Idaho court records can be a daunting task. RecordsSiteReviews takes the headache out of searching for such records by providing you with valuable information and important Idaho court records links below.


Court records in Idaho are governed by the Idaho Court Administrative law. This statute governs the handling and disposition of all documents that the state courts posses. Just like in other states, a visit to the court is necessary when asking for copies of court records. The state uses the Idaho Statewide Trial Court Record System, a series of public access computer terminals that allows people to check or go through court record information in digital form. It provides a more efficient means to examine court files than by requesting a copy from the clerk of court.

Accessing ID Court Records

Unfortunately, the Idaho Statewide Trial Court Record System is not available in all counties. Moreover, it is not connected to the Internet. People would still have to go to the courts to view the court records that they want. The good news is that plans are already underway to make the system available in all counties and over the Internet.

Not all ID court records are available to the public. They include an assortment of documents, the contents of which could harm the government’s or litigant’s interests if not kept confidential. Medical records, adoption papers, private employment records, records pertaining to juveniles, and adoption records are among the documents that are restricted from public access.

Requests for official copies of court records in Idaho should be addressed to the records custodian. The keeper of the records has three days from the receipt of the application to process it. If the custodian thinks that it will take more than three days to process the request, he must notify the applicant about it and deliver such documents within ten days. The custodian has the right to deny any individual access to court records which are deemed to be confidential.

In the event that the records custodian cannot determine whether a court record should or should not be made available to the public, the requester can refer the matter to the custodian judge. The custodian judge will set a public hearing to find out if the record can indeed be disclosed to any person. If a hearing does takes place, it might take some time before the court could promulgate its decision. In case the custodian judge does not rule in favor of the requester, his next option is to file a case for disclosure in the district court.
