The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, Division of Public Health sets forth the rules and regulations for portable x-rays in Idaho.

## X-ray License in Idaho

The state of Idaho does not have any licensure requirements for x-ray professionals. 

## Registering an X-ray Device

The [Idaho Radiation Control Rules](https://adminrules.idaho.gov/rules/current/16/160227.pdf) cover the registration and management of [portable x-ray machines](https://store.mavenimaging.com/collections/mobile-x-ray-machine) in Idaho. The intent is to regulate, license, control, and collect fees for x-ray radiation-emitting machines to ensure the safety of residents. Facility fees are $50, and $25 per tube. 

## Regulations for Portable X-ray Equipment

Idaho has very few regulations when it comes to x-rays, especially portable ones. There are minimum safety requirements and operator qualifications to take note of. The only rule that specifically applies to a mobile device is as follows:

“If the radiation-producing machine is used as a mobile device, a central headquarters must be used.” This is for the application process.
