Most users of
criminal records know New York sells the most expensive statewide criminal
history record in the U.S. Effective July 1, 2010 the New York State Office of
Court Administration (OCA) increased the fee from $55.00 to $65.00 per
record. The OCA provides this
electronic search for criminal history information from a database of criminal
case records from all boroughs and all counties, including Supreme Courts,
County Courts, and City Courts. The OCA states that all Town, City, and Village
Courts submit ALL misdemeanors to this database since 2007, but this point has
been questioned by record retrievers and employment screening companies. See
www.nycourts.gov/apps/chrs/.
By
the way, the next highest fee in the U.S. for a single statewide criminal
history name search is $50.00 from the Department of Public Safety in
Connecticut.
