By Claire Dowell


If you want to acquire New York Arrest Records, proceed to the New York Department of Corrections. The office is tasked of maintaining and supplying them to the public per the files being considered as part of the public domain. To initiate a search, procure a request form at the Department of corrections or acquire it from their official website by simply downloading it. Supply the necessary information that the form is asking. Double check the information you are supplying if they are up to date or not because they will play a major role in the outcome of the search. It is imperative that you know at least the full name of the offender so you can start the search. You will be required to pay certain fees for every transaction, payable by money order or through a certified check, and are non-refundable regardless of the search results.

Every arrest is immediately recorded even if the imprisonment of the arrested person is still uncertain. Some of the facts that can be found on an arrest file are the name of the offender, nature of offense, when and where the offense was committed, who made the arrest, and more. If the person is found guilty of the offense he or she is accused of, his or her files will become permanent and will later on become available for public access. If he or she is proven innocent, the file will remain in the hands of the arresting office but away from public access.

Under the right circumstance, it is also allowed to access the documents of other individuals. Law enforcers, landlords, employers and lawyers are some of the people that are given the right to do so. However, the amount of information granted to them are controlled depending on the reason that the requestor states.

However, not all of the service providers that you will find on the Internet are legit. Conduct a background check on them first and gather as much information as you can about them until you are convinced that they are legit.
