Is Reverse Phone Lookup Legal in Idaho?

Yes. Idaho has not enacted a consumer data privacy law. Unlike neighboring Montana (MT-CDPA, effective October 1, 2024) and Utah (UT-CPA, effective December 31, 2023), Idaho residents have no state-level opt-out rights for lookup databases. The Fair Credit Reporting Act provides the baseline protection that applies here as everywhere: lookup results may not be used for employment, tenant, or credit screening without FCRA compliance.
