Idaho Victim Impact Panel (VIP): What It Is, How to Sign Up, and What Courts Expect

Courts across Idaho routinely order a Victim Impact Panel in DUI cases. It's a single session where victims or families share how impaired driving changed their lives—most panels last about two hours.

Completing your VIP without headaches

• Confirm accepted providers for your court before you register.

• Pre-register (walk-in policies vary and doors close on time).

• Arrive early with ID; late arrivals are commonly refused entry.

• Keep proof of completion and give a copy to your attorney and probation officer.

Can I do it online? Some courts allow approved online VIP; others require in-person.
Is it the same as DUI classes? No—VIP is separate from any education/treatment plan.
What if I lose my completion slip? Contact the provider for a replacement; keep a digital backup.
