    Confidential Intermediary License, and
    Confidential Intermediary Profession

    Private Investigator trainees and members of the International Private Investigators Union have recently been asking about an additional license (and profession) as a Confidential Intermediary.

    This new topic is dedicated to posting links to the various states and national organizations which provide details on whether or not a license is required, as well as other resources in how a private investigator can also serve as a Confidential Intermediary.


    California, Idaho, Nevada, and New Jersey allow access to adopting parents only. States frequently amend their laws. Some of this information was gathered in June 2009, while other links may be more current.

    States that allow birth parents access to nonidentifying information are Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Indiana, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Washington, and West Virginia

    Color Code: The GREEN States use the term "Intermediary", and the BLUE States use the term "Confidential Intermediary":

    State-By-State (All 50 States) Summary

    OTHER NOTES:
    Idaho:
    http://www.legislature.idaho.gov/ids...ECT39-259A.htm

    Idaho does not have Confidential Intermediaries. Idaho is a Closed Records State. There is no explicit legal provision to allow for disclosure of non-identifying information, though no express prohibition of such disclosure exists, either. Since 1995, inclusion of hereditary medical information is a mandatory and routine component of all new adoptions. Idaho DOES explicitly allow for direct court petitioning of adoption records WITHOUT showing "good cause" to do so. Petition the court in the county where the adoption took place. Idaho DOES have a Mutual Consent Registry.

    In Idaho, a mutual consent registry is operated by State Registrar of Vital Statistics. Adult adoptees, birth parents, biological siblings of adult adoptees and biological relatives of deceased adoptees and deceased birth parents may register. Identifying information respecting birth parents will not be released to an adult adoptee without the consent of the other birth parent UNLESS there is only one birth parent listed on the original birth certificate, the other birth parent is deceased, or the other birth parent cannot be located. No governmental employee may solicit a consent for release of information or registration with the registry. There is no provision for the release of non-identifying information.

    Registry fee: $10
    Contact for application:
    Adoption Unit, Vital Statistics Bureau
    Department of Health and Welfare
    450 West State Street
    Boise, ID 83720
    Telephone: (208) 338-7000

    Great Info, just two notes:

    1) Typo on WashinGton. (We all do them from time to time. No worries.)
    2) WYOMING link doesn't work anymore.
