Yes. Idaho has adopted the Uniform Probate Code, which validates a will under any of three tests: it complied with the law of the place of execution, the law of the testator's domicile when signed, or the law of the testator's domicile at death (UPC § 2-506). A will signed in another state is recognized in Idaho if any of those tests passes. The practical wrinkle is the self-proving affidavit — if the foreign will doesn't have one, witnesses may need to testify during probate. See the Idaho document portability tool for the full breakdown.

Idaho's execution rule for a will: 2Idaho Code § 15-2-502Verified May 31, 2026 witnesses, with notarization NoIdaho Code § 15-2-502Verified May 31, 2026. The rules apply by state statute, not by where you signed, so a document signed elsewhere still has to clear Idaho's requirements when it's used here.

RON is a clean path for Idaho wills: the state both authorizes RON itself and recognizes RON performed under other states' rules. Either route lets the notarization happen via secure video call rather than in person.
