## Licensing Ledger

Idaho has no state private investigator license; some cities, such as Pocatello, license investigators. Since 2023 Idaho has let courts shield some criminal records from public view, given agencies more time to answer non-residents’ records requests (since July 1, 2025, 21 days to grant or deny and up to 35 days to produce), restricted government license plate reader data, and extended its telephone harassment law to email and texts.
