Bonneville County, in eastern Idaho around Idaho Falls, keeps its trial-court records with the Clerk of the District Court, an office of the county government located on the second floor of the Bonneville County Courthouse. As throughout Idaho, this single office handles both district-court and magistrate-division filings — civil, criminal, family, and probate cases alike.
The clerk's office accepts document requests in person or by mail with a self-addressed stamped envelope, and publishes per-page copy and certification fees directly rather than requiring a separate fee inquiry.
The statewide iCourt Portal is free to search and covers Bonneville County, but as elsewhere in Idaho it is an index and register-of-actions tool, not a complete document repository — certified copies still come from the clerk's office.

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) |

|---|---|
| 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.

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.
