Changes to New York criminal records searches

When we conduct County Level Criminal Records Searches, in New York, our only option (as dictated by the court system) is to search through the New York Office of Court Administration (NY-OCA). While this is in effect a statewide search, it is the highest court fee ($65.00) in the country. Now they are limiting the information available.

NY-OCA will no longer provide a criminal history for any individual whose only conviction was a single misdemeanor charge more than ten years prior to the date of the search request. If we place a search request in NY, and there is NO record or ONE misdemeanor charge, more than ten years old, they will return to us a NO record/Clear result, which we will pass along to you.
