== | == Deaths == | ||
'''Early - 1911''' | |||
The counties were officially required to keep registers of deaths from 1907 to 1911. The Idaho State Historical Society (PARL) in Boise and the Family History Library have acquired microfilm copies of most of the county recordings from all counties. Generally, deaths were recorded less frequently than births. | |||
'''1911 - Present''' | |||
After 1911, deaths occuring in Idaho are included in a state wide registration program operated by the State. These records are restricted for a period of fifty years from the time of the individual's death. Close family members may obtain copies of certificates for more recent years as per state access restrictions. | |||
Official copies of these records are available from: | |||

State your relationship to the individual you want information about and the reason you want the information. Only family members can obtain the information in these files. Fees and restrictions on providing copies are available on their website. | |||
'''Copies''' of the certificates from 1911-1954 are on microfilm and located at the Idaho State Historical Society (PARL) Library in Boise, the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah, BYU-Idaho University Library in Rexburg and several other locations. | |||
