New York Public Criminal Records

By Ben Kingsley


Criminal violations of the residents of New York are documented in the New York Public Criminal Records. In getting a copy of such document, it is important to know the process in getting it as well as the uses of such documents.

With the number of crimes happening everywhere, one cannot just let their safety be at risk. This is the reason why many would use the criminal records of the state to conduct a background check on the people around them. Owners of businesses use this document to check on the background of their people as well as potential business partners. This way they can be sure that the people working for them are trustworthy. It is not only business owners who conduct criminal background check; even ordinary residents of the state would do the same. They check on the background of the people around them to make sure they are surrounded with good people. Criminal records are also used as reference when investigators conduct a case investigation.

A criminal record in New York contains information about the committed crimes that an individual has committed. Details such as the date and the place where the crimes have been reported are indicated on the file along with all of the crimes that the person has committed. Arrest details are also indicated on the document along with the charges and the sentence that the person received as punishment for his actions. The document would also show details about the reported person. The complete name of the person as well as the details of his/her birth and a description of one's personal appearance.

To begin the search for criminal records in the state of New York, one has to be ready to have their fingerprints taken as it is an important step in getting such documents. It is also necessary to provide at least two kinds of identification to proceed with the request. The state allows its local residents to request for a copy of their personal criminal history only. This type of request would cost $60. Requesting access to other people's record would require legal actions which mean a lawyer would be necessary when accessing third party records.

In New York, all of the criminal records of the state are handled by the office of the Criminal Identification Unit of the Department of Criminal Justice Services. This should be the first place to check when one needs to access the files of other people. The county court office is another place to check if it is not possible to go to the state office. Unfortunately, the county office can only search through the records which have been registered within the county itself. Mail requests can also be done at both offices but it can take a while before the results can be sent back.

The criminal records in New York can now be requested with the help of the Internet. Since the search is done online, there is no need to go to any office just to file the request. This shortens the retrieval time and makes it hassle free. One can even get a copy of a criminal record without spending a cent using the services offered by some websites. Residents of New York, however, prefer to just pay for the search to ensure that they get quality results and accurate information.
