The State rule. Idaho Code 65-301: no public officer may charge "for recording or indexing the discharge papers" of a veteran of any war or conflict, "or for issuing certified copies thereof"; a veteran may record with personal identifiers such as date of birth and Social Security number redacted; a veteran or surviving spouse, attorney, personal representative, executor or guardian may have a recorded DD-214, DD-215 or older equivalent removed from the record, in person and free; and a recorded discharge is not a public record "without the express written consent" of one of them. The county's form. The Clerk/Auditor/Recorder's "Request for Copies of Military Records" (March 2020): "I am requesting the military documents of ____. If I am not the Veteran requesting the documents, then I am the surviving spouse or legal representative in which I will show proof", with service and discharge dates and a mailing address, signed before a notary, "(Please attach a copy of the photo ID of the person requesting copy.)" The Clerk, Kristina Glascock, is ex officio Recorder; the county's Veterans Service Office also orders discharges from the military.
