Teton County Clerk Office
The official local office name is Clerk, Auditor, Recorder. The research map gives the full mapped role as Clerk of the District Court / County Clerk, Auditor, Recorder because the elected county office serves several public-record functions and also supports court recordkeeping. Teton County should not be described as having a Texas-style split district clerk and county clerk. Idaho uses state District Courts and Magistrate Divisions for court cases, while the Teton County Clerk, Auditor, Recorder also manages recorded documents, marriage licenses, county records, elections, fees, and other county office functions.
The official county page names Kim Keeley as Clerk and says she was elected in November 2018. It describes the clerk as Clerk to the Board of County Commissioners, custodian of all county recorded documents, Clerk of the District Court, Budget Officer, and Elections Administrator. It also says the office supports county commissioners, courts, departments, and the public by helping county business be conducted accurately, transparently, and in compliance with Idaho law.

Teton County Clerk Duties
The clerk role is broad. For court users, the most important distinction is court records versus recorded documents. Court case records come from the Idaho judiciary and are searched through iCourt or the court clerk channel. Recorded instruments are county recorder records. They can include deeds, mortgages, plats, surveys, powers of attorney, reconveyances, trust deeds, and other documents that are filed or recorded with the county.
- Maintains court records for civil, criminal, juvenile, probate, and other cases.
- Processes court filings, orders, judgments, fines, fees, and bonds.
- Acts as custodian of official county recorded documents.
- Supports public-records requests while protecting confidential and sensitive information.
- Handles marriage licensing and county recorder fee categories.
- Serves as elections administrator and budget officer.
The Clerk, Auditor, Recorder's office is also the public contact point for many county forms and fee schedule questions. Law-enforcement records, however, follow the Teton County Sheriff's Office public-information request channel, not the clerk's recorded-document portal.
Request Certified Teton Copies
Certified copies are used when a record must carry official proof from the issuing office. A printed online search result is not the same thing. Court case documents, recorded instruments, marriage license records, and county administrative documents may follow different copy paths. Start by identifying the exact record before asking for certification.
- Identify whether the record is a court case, recorded document, marriage record, county record, or sheriff record.
- Use Idaho iCourt for court case numbers or the Teton County recorded-document portal for recorder index entries.
- Collect party names, document type, filing or recording date, case number, instrument number if known, and the copy format needed.
- Contact the Clerk, Auditor, Recorder or courthouse channel for the current certified-copy process and fee before visiting or mailing a request.
- Use the county public-records request form only for county administrative records when no more specific court, recorder, or sheriff process applies.
Note: A certified court copy must come from the official court or clerk channel, not from a third-party search result.
Teton Records Request Fields
The general Teton County public-records request form is available through the county Planning and Zoning fees/forms page. It is not a dedicated state court case-copy form. It is best described as a fallback channel for county administrative records when a specific court, recorder, sheriff, or election process is not more appropriate.
| Field or detail | Use | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Requester contact information | County response and delivery | Name, phone, email, and mailing details may be needed. |
| Clear record description | Search accuracy | Describe the document, department, date range, and subject. |
| Case or instrument number | Best identifier | Use iCourt or the recorder index first if available. |
| Copy type | Fee and certification | State whether plain, certified, printed, digital, or mailed copies are needed. |
| Statutory limits | Access review | Idaho law and court rules may restrict confidential material. |
The official county planning forms page links the general public-records request form and guide.
For Teton County clerk records, use that form only after checking whether the record has a more specific court, recorder, marriage, election, or sheriff route.
Teton County Clerk Fees
The official Teton County fee schedule separates public-record copy rules, Clerk/Auditor/Recorder items, and Court & Traffic Fines items.

Teton County Clerk Forms
The county forms center is useful for clerk and court-adjacent needs, but the form type determines where the record goes. A marriage license application is handled through the Clerk, Auditor, Recorder. A juror questionnaire and magistrate performance questionnaire are court-adjacent forms. State court pleadings and self-help forms are found through Idaho court resources.
- Teton County forms center for county PDFs and service forms.
- Teton County marriage license application for marriage license applicants.
- Juror questionnaire for jury service administration.
- Idaho court forms library for state court self-help forms.
Marriage licenses and passports are by appointment according to the clerk page. The official marriage application asks for applicant identity, address, birth, parent, marital-status, Social Security number, role, and certification fields.
Online Clerk Records
The Teton County Clerk, Auditor, Recorder Records Public Access Web is the county recorded-document portal. Its disclaimer says the data can change without notice and that the index is similar to a library card catalog. It also advises users to search all possible spelling variations. That language should be taken seriously. An index result helps locate a document, but it is not the same thing as an official certified copy or a final legal opinion about the underlying property or record.
For court cases, use Idaho iCourt and the courthouse copy channel. For county administrative public records, use the official public-records form if no better record-specific path exists. For sheriff incident, arrest, warrant, and investigative records, use the sheriff public-information request process and expect limits under Idaho Code 74-108 when law-enforcement investigatory material is involved.
That separation keeps Teton County clerk records, court records, recorded instruments, and law-enforcement records in the correct official lane.
