Idaho law authorizes for private individuals to obtain fingerprint background checks directly from the Bureau of Criminal Identification, which processes nearly 55,000 requests annually. Birth and deaths filed in Idaho from July 1911 to the present, and data of divorces and marriages filed from May 1947 to the present can be obtained from the bureau of vital statistics. Independent sources can be found across Idaho's state offices and local agencies which offer all that is necessary including forms and instant name or file queries to obtain records online. Background information is broken down into asset searches from county real estate recorders, secretary of state, criminal checks from police agencies, licensing from regulators, case files from all state courts and state central data repositories.
