Interactive Forms
Interactive forms are free to low income people in Idaho with certain legal issues. Interactive forms allow a person to input information which automatically enters into the appropriate forms. Interactive forms are available on the Idaho Guide & File website. Click "Start Your Legal Process" to to generate forms you can use to e-file or print to file in person at your local courthouse.
If you don’t have all of the required information, you can still use the interactive forms to fill in the information you do have. If you set up a free and confidential user name and password for the interactive forms, you can start your form, save your answers, and finish completing the interactive forms when you have the remaining needed information. Or, you can complete as much of the information as possible, take your forms to your local Court Assistance Office, and ask for assistance with filling in the remaining needed information.
Fillable PDF Forms
Fillable PDF forms are also available if you prefer not use to the interactive forms process. You may find fillable PDF forms and instructions here: https://courtselfhelp.idaho.gov/Forms/claims. Please view the instructions for each form before filing out the forms.
