Births before 1911[edit | edit source]
From 1907 to 1911, counties were required by the state to record births. Some delayed birth records exist. In most cases, you must search substitute records to locate your ancestor’s birth date and place before 1911.

Obtain the Record[edit | edit source]
Birth registers covering 1907-1911 are kept at the Idaho State Historical Society. Microfilm copies are available through the Family History Library by searching the Catalog for IDAHO [COUNTY] VITAL RECORDS.
Births after 1911[edit | edit source]
Statewide registration of births began in 1911 in Idaho. Currently, there are no complete online indexes to Idaho births from 1911 to the present.
Obtain the Certificate[edit | edit source]
With full names, dates and places of an event, you can order a copy of the birth certificate for a fee from the Idaho Bureau of Vital Records and Health Statistics or VitalChek.
Restrictions for persons born within the last 100 years:
To obtain a copy of the birth certificate for those born within the last 100 years, you must be:
- The person on the certificate
- The parent or grandparent of the person on the certificate
- The spouse of the person on the certificate
- The child of the person on the certificate
- The sibling of the person on the certificate
- The legal guardian of the person on the certificate
- Anyone who has legal interest in the certificate
- NOTE: A copy of the birth certificate cannot be obtained by anyone except those listed above until 100 years have passed from the date of the birth.
If you do not want to order the birth record, there are other records with birth information you can search.
