Extended Access Questions

Answer

If you are a member of the general public or media, you do not need to register on the Portal. Registration is only for users who require "extended access" which is provided to federal, state, and local officials, or their agents, in the exercise of their official duties.

Answer

Once you have read ICAR 32 and conclude a need for access, you will need to register at mycourts.idaho.gov. More information about the complete registration process can be found here.

Answer

The Idaho Supreme Court may authorize ‘extended access’ to confidential court records for federal, state, and local officials, or their agents, in the exercise of their official duties and powers as deemed appropriate. Access to confidential court records is governed by Idaho Court Administrative Rule 32. Please read the full text of the rule to determine whether or not you qualify for access to confidential court records. The current levels of extended access and approved agencies can be found in the Idaho Supreme Court Extended Access Order.
