What are Idaho Bankruptcy Records?

Idaho bankruptcy records are the legal documentation of bankruptcy proceedings that took place in the State of Idaho. Usually, bankruptcy proceedings begin when insolvent parties (persons or organizations) make a filing in a federal court under any chapter of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. In Idaho, this court is the United States Bankruptcy Court District of Idaho. When bankruptcy actions are filed, the court generates records containing debtors’ personal and financial information, plus other case-related information. These records, known as bankruptcy records, are stored in physical, electronic, and other media forms by the Clerk of Court’s office and disclosed to the public upon request. Third-party online sites like IdahoCourtRecords.us also provide electronic databases to assist members of the public in obtaining these records.

What do Idaho Bankruptcy Records Contain?

Idaho bankruptcy records contain information on persons involved in bankruptcy cases and other related documents and information, including:

  • List of creditors owed, including their personal details and the amounts in claim
  • Identifying information of the debtor and debtor’s attorney
  • Trustee
  • The presiding judge’s name
  • Case number
  • Petition type
  • Filing chapter and date
  • Disposition of the case
  • Docket information
  • Case discharge date
  • Financial details of the debtor, including income sources, assets, payment histories, bank account numbers, tax information, monthly living expenses, mortgage(s), loans/leases, the market value of real properties, and any outstanding child/alimony support.

Are Bankruptcy Records Public Information?

Yes, bankruptcy records are subject to public inspection or copying under Section 107(a), U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Sections 107(b) and 112 outline instances when information on a record may be removed from public view, or redacted, upon request of persons involved in a case or at the court’s discretion. Mostly, publicly restricted information is the unique identifiers or financial details of a case’s principal party and any other information that may present a risk of fraud, identity theft, personal injury, property damage, or revealing a business’ confidential information.

Records that are considered public may be accessible from some third-party websites. These websites often make searching simpler, as they are not limited by geographic location, and search engines on these sites may help when starting a search for specific or multiple records. To begin using such a search engine on a third-party or government website, interested parties usually must provide:

  • The name of the person involved in the record, unless said person is a juvenile
  • The location or assumed location of the record or person involved. This includes information such as the city, county, or state that person resides in or was accused in.

Third-party sites are independent from government sources, and are not sponsored by these government agencies. Because of this, record availability on third-party sites may vary.

How to Get Idaho Bankruptcy Records

In Idaho, individuals generally have three ways of requesting bankruptcy records created in the Idaho federal bankruptcy court.:

Entire record boxes may also be ordered from NARA through the clerk’s office for a fee.

Requesters may then visit the Clerks office to view these records.

Applicable fees are listed on the NARA Reproduction Fees page. Questions on this process may be addressed to the clerk’s office or by contacting the Seattle office on (206) 336–5115. Further information is available on the Retrieve a Court File page.
