Union Criminal History Records

The Division of Criminal Justice Services keeps New York's official criminal history records. These are fingerprint based. DCJS records show arrests, court outcomes, and sentences. They may flag an active warrant on a person's file. You must send in your own prints to get your record. Call DCJS at 518-457-9847 or email RecordReview@dcjs.ny.gov.

These records are not public. Third party sites that sell background check data pull from public court records, not the DCJS fingerprint system.
