The Idaho Bureau of Health
Policy and Vital Statistics maintains birth and death records filed from
July 1911 to the present, and marriage and divorce records filed from May
1947 to the present. Some counties may have older birth, death, marriage, or
divorce records in their files, but county files contain only records of
vital events that occurred in that county. |
|
Information regarding obtaining records for events occurring in other
states may be found at the
National Center for Health Statistics.
|
|
Birth certificates are legally confidential in Idaho for 100
years. Death, stillbirth, marriage, and divorce certificates are legally
confidential in Idaho for 50 years.
|
|
In addition, the person requesting a certified copy of a certificate
must provide a photocopy of Acceptable
Identification. Proof of relation may be
required. Step-relatives, in-laws, great-grandparents, etc., are not
immediate family as defined by Idaho statutes.
