Requesting Your New York State Criminal History
The Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) is responsible for maintaining the New York State’s official criminal history records. The agency is the only source of these official records. You must submit your fingerprints when you request a criminal history record response. 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 have submitted fingerprints as required by law for employment, licensing or other purpose (for example, adoptions), you also will see that information on your criminal history record response. These responses also may be called fingerprint-based criminal background checks, police certificates or police certifications. VISIT WEBSITE for more information
