Bannock County, anchored by Pocatello, is the seat of Idaho's 6th Judicial District, which also serves Bear Lake, Caribou, Franklin, Oneida, and Power counties. Records for cases filed in Bannock County stay with the Bannock County Clerk, who serves ex officio as Clerk of the District Court for both the district court and the magistrate division — the district administration itself does not hold case files, since each county in the district keeps its own.
The clerk's office is in the Bannock County Courthouse in downtown Pocatello. As in the rest of Idaho, the statewide iCourt Portal provides free case search, while the clerk's office handles document copies, certified copies, and payments through mycourts.idaho.gov's payment feature.

Which clerk has your record
In Idaho, the clerk who keeps a file depends on which court heard the case. Check the court name on the case notice, citation, or order, then use the office and coverage details above to identify the record holder. Court names and responsibilities differ by state; a county clerk may not keep court case files. For federal cases, see the PACER guide. The full court structure is on the Idaho page.
| Court | Typical cases | Records kept by |
|---|---|---|
| District Courts (7 judicial districts) | Felony criminal cases; Civil suits over $10,000; Divorce, custody, and other family cases | Clerk of the District Court (the county clerk, acting ex officio) |
| Magistrate Division | Misdemeanor criminal cases; Small claims and civil cases up to $10,000; Probate, guardianship, and estate matters | Clerk of the District Court (the same county office keeps magistrate records) |

Fees
| Item | Typical cost in Idaho |
|---|---|
| Plain copy | $1.00 per page |
| Certified copy | $1.00 per page, plus $1.00 per document for the clerk's certificate and seal |
Idaho Code § 31-3201 sets the clerk of the district court's fee for making a copy of any file or record at $1.00 per page (and $0.50 per page for comparing and conforming a copy you prepare yourself). The statute lists a separate certificate-and-seal charge for certifying a copy without printing a fixed amount in the online text; the court records request forms published by Bonneville, Bingham, and Madison counties all state that charge as $1.00 per document. Some counties add a flat request or card-processing fee (Canyon County charges $5 per request), so confirm the total with the clerk before sending payment.

Sealed and restricted records
Idaho court records are presumed open under Idaho Court Administrative Rule 32 (I.C.A.R. 32), which governs public access to judicial records statewide. Several categories are not available to the public:
The Idaho guide lists every category of sealed and restricted record, and our guide to expunging or sealing a criminal record explains how to remove one from public view.
