Updated Database On New York Criminal Records

By Ben Kingsley


Since the Freedom of Information Act has been in place, NY criminal records have been opened to the public. However, access to this document is limited only to the person involved. This means that, although the document is a public file, only the person whose name is on the file is allowed to request it. Those who need to access it should have a special request before they will be allowed to access the files of others.

The arrest records of New York are only one of the many types of criminal files that the state issues to its residents. One can get an arrest report if the laws of the state and nation have been violated. Law enforcing agencies of the state such as the police department, sheriff's office and the traffic department can issue an arrest if necessary. A person can have several arrest records coming from those mentioned agencies. One can then get a copy of an arrest record directly from the office that issued or made the report.

An arrest record would contain information about the arrest of an individual. One would find the case number, date and place of arrest as well as the crimes that the individual has committed that lead to his arrest. The document would also show the personal details of the individual such as the birth details, address of residency and other significant information about the individual. One would know the status of the case and the outcome of the arrest. The charges that were filed against the individual as well as the sentence given to the person are indicated on the record. The document however, is only made public, only after the case has been resolved, otherwise it is kept private only to authorized individuals.

One has to go to the office of the Court Administration in New York in order to obtain a copy of an arrest record in the state. One should know that a nationwide search is not possible. Only a statewide search is allowed and simply means that looking for an arrest record of a person from another state in New York would yield no results.

In order to get a copy of an arrest record in the state of New York, one has to know the basic details of the record that is being requested. The search form has to be completely filled out with the necessary information to obtain the requested document. One has to pay $65 as a processing fee in order to proceed with the retrieval process. The state office accepts mailed-in requests; however, the results can take a while.

The Internet allows the retrieval of an arrest record faster since it can be done even without leaving home. One can even search for arrest records for free. There are several websites out there that lets its users have a trial period of at least 7 days. This gives the users enough time to explore the system and then decide if they wish to continue using the service by paying or not.
