Public Records Requests

We are committed to transparency and public access to information. Under Idaho law, every person has the right to examine and obtain copies of public records, except where specific exemptions apply. Please note that records cannot be used for mailing or telephone lists as restricted by Idaho law. By submitting a public records request here, the only records that will be searched are those that are in possession of the Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation.

NOTE: In order to have all the pertinent information to process your request as quickly as possible, requestors are highly encouraged to use the online form on this page, not the e-mail address, to submit a public records request. Public records requests must be submitted in writing. 

For additional information, please refer to the Idaho Public Records Law Manual and Idaho Statue 74-102 

Steps to Request Public Records

  • Complete the online form below
  • Provide your name, mailing address, email, and phone number
  • Be as specific as possible about the records you need
  • Include key details such as:
    • Subject matter
    • Date range
    • Specific documents or data sought

Response and Processing Time

Expect a response to a request within three (3) business days. However, if we determine that a longer period of time is needed to process the request, we will notify you of the need for extra time and may take an additional seven (7) business days to respond to Idaho residents and up to eighteen (18) additional business days to respond to nonresidents. Business days are Monday – Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. All requests received after normal business hours (excluding holidays) are deemed received the next business day.

IDPR will notify a requestor if their request is likely to generate fees and give the requestor an estimate of those costs.
