Idaho State Statutes - Idaho Attorney Directory

When the person on whom the
service is to be made resides outside of the state, or has departed from the
state, or cannot after due diligence be found within the state, or conceals
himself therein to avoid the service of summons, or is a foreign corporation
having no managing or business agent, cashier or secretary within this state,
or where any persons are made defendant by the style and description of
unknown owners, or unknown heirs or unknown devisees of any deceased person
and the names of such unknown owners or heirs or devisees are unknown to the
complainant in the action, and such facts appear by affidavit to the
satisfaction of the court in which the suit is pending, and it also appears by
the verified complaint on file that a cause of action exists against defendant
in respect to whom the service is to be made, and that he is a necessary or
proper party to the action, the court may make an order for the publication of
the summons, or, if the address of the defendant outside of the state is
known, may make an order that personal service of the summons may be made
outside of the state in lieu of such publication; and an affidavit setting
forth in ordinary and concise language any of the grounds as above set forth,
upon which the publication of the summons is sought, shall be sufficient
without setting forth or showing what efforts have been made or what diligence
has been exerted in attempting to find the defendant.
