Get Access to Court Records Quickly and Easily

The state of Idaho began keeping an official record of deaths in 1907. Previous to that year, the records were kept by doctors, midwives, churches and mortuaries. A county recording clerk kept the records in each county until 1911, when all records were directed to be sent to the state office. Currently, anyone can access Idaho death records that are over fifty years old. If the death occurred after that, you’ll need to be a close relative of the decedent. By mail, you must complete an application form and mail to:

Idaho State Dept. of Health and Welfare

Idaho charges a fee of $14 for a death record search and you can add $5 to that fee if you want the delivery in a hurry. You’ll be required to enter pertinent information on the application such as date of death, birth, full name and place of death. You will receive a notice if no record is found, but there are no refunds. If you’re searching for a very old Idaho death record, you may want to contact the Idaho State Historical Society which has registered deaths dating back to the 1870s. The information you might receive, if available, are addresses, marital status, cause of death and age at death. Keep in mind that Idaho records are confidential for 50 years after date of death and you will need to show photo identification that links your relationship to the deceased to get a copy of the record.

The Internet can also be very helpful in searching for Idaho death records. With their vast databases and powerful search engines, these private search sites can quickly find the information you need from the data you enter about the deceased.

The fees are reasonable and competitive, so you can usually find a price you can afford.
