Access Lewis County Clerk Records

Lewis County Clerk Auditor

Lewis County uses a unified local clerk structure for court access. The official county site places District Court under the Auditor section, and the state structure map names the primary clerk as Clerk of the District Court / Lewis County Auditor. The county page identifies the Auditor as Alesia "Lisa" Winner. The Auditor office and District Court office are both listed at 510 Oak Street, Room #1, Nezperce, Idaho 83543.

The Auditor page is the county source for clerk contact details and the public-records request process. It makes the Auditor/Clerk counter the local fallback when a court record, county record, or certified copy is not available through iCourt or another statewide channel. The same room number also matters because visitors can handle District Court questions and Auditor/Clerk requests at the courthouse's Room 1 counter.

The Lewis County Auditor page is the source for Auditor contact and public-records links.

For records users, the key point is that the Lewis County Auditor and District Court clerk functions share the same courthouse room but may use different phone numbers depending on the request.

What the Clerk Does in Lewis County

Idaho Court Administrative Rule 32 identifies the custodian for district and magistrate case files as the Clerk of the District Court or a designated deputy clerk. In Lewis County, the research points court-record users to Room 1 for the filed case record after the online search step. The clerk request must clearly identify each requested record so the custodian can locate it without extensive research.

• Receives written public-records requests returned to the County Clerk's Office in Room 1.
• Handles clerk copy requests when case documents are not fully available through iCourt.
• Uses the request form to track requester details, requested documents, response outcome, page count, cost, and release date.
• May require advance payment for large paper-copy requests or labor-heavy requests under the county form's fee rules.
• Supports marriage license copy requests through the Recorder side of the Auditor office.

Lewis County District Court Counter

The Lewis County District Court page lists the court office at 510 Oak Street, Room #1, with phone (208) 937-2251 and fax (208) 937-9233.

That local District Court contact is the practical place to confirm whether a request should go through iCourt, a courthouse kiosk, or a written clerk request.

Request Certified Clerk Copies

A certified copy request should be specific. Start with the case number or record number if known, then identify the document by title, party names, filing date, and case type. If the record is a marriage license copy, use the separate Lewis County Recorder form and the $2 marriage-copy fee. If the record is a court document, contact the District Court / Clerk to confirm copy and certification requirements before mailing payment.

1. Search iCourt or existing paperwork for the Lewis County case number, party names, and filing date.
2. Identify the exact document needed, such as decree, order, judgment, will, letters, disposition, or certified docket entry.
3. Complete the Lewis County public records request form when a written county request is needed.
4. Submit the request to the County Clerk's Office at 510 Oak St. Room 1, Nezperce, ID 83543, by email to awinner@lewiscountyid.org, or by fax to (208) 937-9234.
5. Wait for the clerk response, cost notice, release, denial letter, 10-day letter, or no-records result shown in the form workflow.

The form cites a usual response within three business days. It also contains office-use fields for county attorney review, approval, denial letter, 10-day letter, no-records result, release date, number of pages released, cost, and the date and time received by the clerk or county.

Lewis County Records Request Form Fields

The Lewis County public-records request form is designed to capture contact information and a precise record description. The most important field is the requested-documents description because Idaho court-record requests must clearly identify the record. A vague request can require clarification, while a detailed request can be matched to a file, document, and date.

Lewis County Clerk Fees and Advance Payment

The Lewis County request form gives rules rather than a full court-copy price sheet. It states that advance payment may be required when estimated labor exceeds two hours or when more than 100 copies of 8.5 x 11 records are needed. The same research section identifies the marriage license copy fee and the credit-card surcharge for marriage-copy payments.

Common Lewis County Clerk Forms

The clerk research identifies two local forms tied to the Auditor/Clerk office: the public records request form and the marriage license copy request form. The public records request form is the written path for county records submitted to the County Clerk's Office. The marriage form is for a copy of a Lewis County marriage license and has separate eligibility and notarization requirements.

• Lewis County Public Records Request Form - written request to the County Clerk's Office in Room 1.
• Request for Copy of Marriage License - marriage license copy request with eligibility categories, notarization, and $2 copy fee.

Lewis County Clerk Access Rules

The Lewis County form cites Idaho Code sections 74-102(5), 74-102(10), and 74-343(3), and it cites privacy-related redaction rules for birth month and day. The form warns that birth month and day for people in records may be removed under Idaho Code sections 74-105, 74-124(1)(c), 74-124(2), and 74-101(6) to avoid unwarranted invasion of personal privacy and identity theft.

The Idaho public records inspection statute is one of the state law sources assigned to the clerk page.

That statute context explains why the clerk request form asks for both a specific record description and a way to contact the requester.

Email, Fax, Mail, and Online Record Paths

Lewis County clerk requests can be sent by email to awinner@lewiscountyid.org, by fax to (208) 937-9234, by mail to the County Clerk's Office at 510 Oak St. Room 1, or in person at the courthouse. Online case information begins with iCourt, while records from a court case may require a courthouse kiosk or clerk request from the court where the case was filed.

The Idaho mailing-list restriction statute is also assigned to the clerk page because it limits using public records as mailing or telephone lists.

For Lewis County clerk records, this means access for a specific record purpose is different from using public records to build a contact list.
