What is ITD 3414?
The Affidavit of Inheritance (Form ITD 3414) is the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) form in which an heir swears they have the right to succeed to a deceased owner's vehicle, filed with the application for an Idaho Certificate of Title.
The form identifies the vehicle by Vehicle Identification Number, title number, year, make and model, and names the deceased owner, the date of death and any other heirs with their addresses. The claimant then states that:
- the claimant is a survivor or heir of the decedent;
- the decedent died intestate (without a will);
- the decedent has no remaining creditors;
- the decedent left no other property necessitating probate;
- no other heirs have prior right to the vehicle;
- the decedent was the titled owner and the claimant has a right to succeed to the vehicle.
The form says it is attached to and made part of the application for Idaho Certificate of Title. In it the claimant agrees to warrant and defend the title and to protect the Transportation Department of the State of Idaho against suits, claims, losses and costs, including attorney fees, arising from any defect in the title. The claimant signs under penalty of perjury under Idaho law.
A printed note covers a vehicle that has been titled but whose title is not being submitted: the claimant certifies that the title has been lost. ITD's vehicle titles page lists the form among its titling documents and separately describes an Affidavit of Lost Title, which is a different process for an owner who needs a copy of their own title.
Who needs to file ITD 3414?
The main user is a survivor or heir of a deceased vehicle owner who is applying for an Idaho Certificate of Title in their own right to that vehicle and can truthfully make every statement printed on the form.
Those statements set the conditions. The decedent must have died intestate, without a will. The decedent must have no remaining creditors and must not have left other property that requires probate. No other heir may have a prior right to the vehicle. The decedent must have been the titled owner of the vehicle described on the form.
The form therefore does not fit a situation where there is a will, creditors remain, other property must go through probate, or another heir has a prior claim, because the claimant would be unable to sign the statements as written.
The claimant signs personally. The form provides a line for the claimant's printed name and relationship to the deceased, and it provides no separate block for a representative. If other heirs exist, their names and addresses go in the section for other heirs.
When to file ITD 3414
Complete the affidavit when you apply for an Idaho Certificate of Title to a vehicle that belonged to a deceased owner, because the form says it is attached to and made part of that application. No separate due date is printed on it, so it is submitted whenever the title application is.
You will need the date of death and the vehicle details before you start, and the claimant must sign and date the form. If the vehicle was titled but the title is not being submitted, the form's note has the claimant certify that the title was lost.
The form sets no processing time. ITD's vehicle titles page lists other titling deadlines, such as 30 days after a vehicle transfer, but it ties them to purchases and not to this affidavit.
Documents you need
- The application for Idaho Certificate of Title to the vehicle: the form says the affidavit is attached to and made part of it.
- The vehicle's title, if you have it and are submitting it; the form's note applies when a titled vehicle's title is not submitted, and then you certify that it was lost.

How to submit ITD 3414
The form names no channel of its own: it is attached to the application for Idaho Certificate of Title and filed with that application.
- With the title application: put the signed affidavit in the same package as the application for Idaho Certificate of Title for the vehicle, together with the title if you are submitting it.
- Where titling documents go: ITD's vehicle titles page, which lists ITD 3414 among its titling documents, refers to county motor vehicle offices and, for recording a lien, to the Idaho Transportation Department, Vehicle Services Section, Post Office Box 34, Boise, Idaho 83707. It does not say which office takes an inheritance title application, so confirm with ITD (dmv.idaho.gov, as printed on the form) or your county motor vehicle office before sending.
- Fees: ITD's titling page lists title fees and county administrative fees. The affidavit itself sets none; ask ITD or the county office for the current amounts.

Common mistakes to avoid
- Signing the affidavit when the decedent left a will; the form states the decedent died intestate (without a will).
- Signing when creditors remain or other property needs probate; the form states there are no remaining creditors and no other property necessitating probate.
- Leaving out other heirs, or their addresses, in the Name and Address of Other Heirs section when other heirs exist.
- Filing the affidavit alone instead of attaching it to the application for Idaho Certificate of Title.
- Omitting the vehicle details, such as the Vehicle Identification Number, title number, year, make and model, so the vehicle is not identified.
- Leaving the title unsubmitted without certifying that it was lost, when the vehicle has been titled.
- Sending the form unsigned or undated; the claimant's signature and date are printed at the bottom.
- Using this form when another heir has prior right to the vehicle, since the claimant swears that no other heir does.
