Expungement Of Criminal Records

Idaho Criminal Records

Idaho criminal records are considered as public records. This means that non-law enforcement, non-criminal justice agencies and individuals may receive copies of Idaho criminal records should they so request. The Idaho criminal records are maintained by BCI or the Idaho Bureau of Criminal Identification. More often than not, this type of service performed by the BCI is used to conduct background checks for licensing. Also, Idaho criminal records checks are key elements and important requirements for employment screening.
The Idaho Code 67-3008 Provisions
The Idaho code 67-3008 (6) states A person or private agency, or public agency, other than the department, shall not disseminate criminal history record information obtained from the department to a person or agency that is not a criminal justice agency or a court without a signed release of the subject of record or unless otherwise provided by law. Therefore, if youre employer wishing to perform an Idaho criminal records check on a prospective hire, you would need that persons written permission in the form of a signed release before you could get a copy form the BCI.
By the same law, Idaho criminal records of juveniles are considered as confidential and should therefore not be disclosed to the public. To concur with the law, juvenile Idaho criminal records are not included in the BCI database. The only time that a juveniles Idaho criminal records may be revealed is if he or she was adjudicated as an adult. And even then, only the record of that event is available and not the juvenile Idaho criminal records.
What Information can you get from Idaho Criminal Records?
The Idaho criminal records contained in the BCI database include information based on the felony and serious misdemeanor arrests. These are incidents reported to the BCI from Idaho criminal justice agencies. According to the law, law enforcement authorities and criminal justice agencies must submit fingerprint cards along with the criminal arrest report to BCI. If not, the reports will not be included in the database and the Idaho criminal records will not be present on an Idaho criminal history.
There are some instances where a record of arrest is made and is found at the local level but not within the state criminal history. The Idaho criminal records database contains information about Idaho arrest only. It does not include information on other states records, FBI records, or subjects convicted in federal court.
What Information is NOT contained in Idaho Criminal Records?
Idaho criminal records only contain information on serious misdemeanors and acts of felony. It does not contain data about minor misdemeanors, local code violations, and traffic violations. Felony-driving violations are recorded however while misdemeanor traffic violations are maintained by the Idaho Transportation Department.

To do this, you may request for a certified copy of your Idaho criminal records by following the instructions in the fingerprint check information.
