A will does not need to be notarized in Idaho, but it is recommended to include a self-proving affidavit. A self-proving affidavit, signed by the testator and witnesses in the presence of a notary public, attests to the will's validity. This can help expedite the probate process by eliminating the need for the court to contact the witnesses to verify the will's authenticity.

For a will to be valid in Idaho, it must be signed by at least two competent witnesses who are 18 years of age or older. The witnesses should not be named as beneficiaries in the will. They must be present when the testator signs the will and must sign the will in the presence of the testator and each other.
