Online Criminal history checks appointment in New York

The Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) is responsible for maintaining New York State’s official criminal history records, making it the sole source of these records. When requesting a criminal history record response, you must submit your fingerprints. This allows DCJS to match your fingerprints to fingerprint-based records the agency is required by law to keep.
You will get either:

• A copy of your New York State criminal history record, commonly called a “rap sheet.”
• A “no record” response, which verifies that you have no New York State criminal history record.

If you’ve submitted fingerprints as required by law for employment, licensing, or other purposes (such as adoptions), you’ll find this information on your criminal history record response. These responses may also be called fingerprint-based criminal background checks, police certificates, or police certifications.

New York State’s Clean Slate Act

New York State’s Clean Slate Act, which takes effect on November 16, 2024, aims to automatically seal eligible conviction records. The state Office of Court Administration (OCA) has three years to develop the necessary processes for this purpose. Once completed, convictions that meet specific criteria will be sealed for certain civil background check purposes.

However, it’s important to note that until the OCA implements these sealing processes, any criminal history record provided through the DCJS Records Review process will still include convictions that will eventually be sealed due to Clean Slate. DCJS cannot seal records without receiving an order from the court.

Additionally, records of individuals convicted of sex crimes and non-drug Class A felonies, including murder, will not be sealed. These records will remain accessible to police departments, sheriffs’ offices, prosecutors, the courts, and any employer permitted by law to perform fingerprint-based background checks on job applicants.

What You Need to Know

• The Division of Criminal Justice Service maintains official criminal history records that detail arrest, indictment, conviction, and sentence information reported to the state by police departments, district attorneys’ offices, the courts, and other criminal justice agencies.
• These records are not considered public records and cannot be provided under the state’s Freedom of Information Law. Furthermore, the DCJS does not release criminal history records to third parties or businesses that sell “background checks.”
• Third parties or businesses that sell “background checks” get that information by searching public databases and records by name, date of birth, or other demographic information, such as home addresses. Those records are not fingerprint-based.
• A local, state, or federal law must allow potential employers or licensing agencies to ask you to submit fingerprints to DCJS for job or professional license consideration. The granting agency must inform you of this requirement.
• This Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) guidance provides additional information for job applicants with criminal records.
• You cannot request a criminal history record response for another person to determine if that person has a criminal history.
• Requesting your criminal history record gives you and/or your attorney the chance to review criminal history record information reported to and maintained by DCJS to ensure it is accurate and/or to correct incomplete or incorrect information. Review these FAQs for more information.
• You can request a criminal history record response that is either unsuppressed or suppressed. If you need both responses, you must submit a separate request for each.
  • Unsuppressed criminal history record: This response contains all criminal history records, including those suppressed (hidden) or sealed (as ordered by a court) under New York State Criminal Procedure Law (CPL).
  • Suppressed criminal history record: This response does not include sealed or suppressed information, as detailed above.
