The iCourt Portal is free to search, a certified Idaho birth or death certificate costs $16, and county recorders charge per-page fees for deed copies.
Ask the Lake Fork police department records clerk for reports if the city has its own force; most small Idaho towns are covered by the Valley County Sheriff's Office, which keeps reports for the area. Crashes worked by the Idaho State Police are requested from the ISP, and Idaho Code 74-124 lets agencies withhold active investigation records.
