This law not only gives the right to access to public records but also the right to examine them and have a copy of these records.

However, you must take note of the Idaho Code (9-342) in requesting for a public record. This code allows the custodian to verify your name, mailing address and telephone number, so that they can ensure that the information would not be used for mailing or telephone listing purposes.
