A recordable document, pursuant to the Idaho Code, must have original signature of grantor and be notarized. If it conveys real property, it must also include the grantee’s current mailing address and a full legal description.
Not all recorded documents are certifiable. A certified copy from the Recorder’s Office is as good as an original document (except birth and death certificates which must be obtained from the Idaho Vital Statistics office). To request vital statistics certificates, write to the Bureau of Vital Statistics, PO Box 83720, Boise ID 83720 or call (208) 334-5988. There is an information line available at (208) 334-5988.
