About Idaho, U.S., Divorce Records, 1947-1971

This collection is an index to divorces beginning in May 1947. Details in the index include:

  • name
  • spouse’s name
  • certificate year and number

For information on how to obtain copies of the entire record, see the Idaho State Bureau of Vital Records and Health Statistics website. Some privacy restrictions may apply.
