Idaho Release and Authorization forms are legal documents used to grant permission to an individual or organization to obtain personal information from a variety of sources. The forms are commonly used by employers, landlords, banks, and other entities to verify the identity of an individual and access their credit and background information. There are two main types of Idaho Release and Authorization forms. The first is an Idaho Consumer Credit Report Release that authorizes an individual or organization to obtain a consumer credit report from one of the three major credit reporting agencies: Equifax, Experian, or TransUnion. The second type is an Idaho Background Check Release, which is used to grant permission for an employer or landlord to obtain a criminal background check on an individual. Both forms require the signature of the individual whose information is being requested.
