Public Records Online Searching

By Claire Dowell


The law in New York has given its people the right to claim the New York public records for a lot of different purposes. Their vision is to become more transparent to the public in terms of the government and public records. The public reports being maintained by the state ever since include divorce, marriage, death, birth, arrest, police, criminal, police and among others. The goal would be to offer the future generations to come with valuable input on the records of the people in New York.

Death, birth and divorce reports are primarily archived by the New York Department of Health. Over time, they have created a sub-group called the Vital Records Division to specifically do the updating and documenting of the said records. The work on these important records started in 1881 and fortunately been carried out until these days. If you are to request for a certified copy then you will have to pay $30.00. On the other hand, if you want to expedite the search then you will have to pay another $15.00.

If you want to further your searches then there is another department which can help you get some more details on what you are trying to inspect for. This is the Vital Records Department which manages all records and data pertaining to the marriages in New York. As the number of requests increased tremendously over time, the state has decided to have another institution installed which they called the New York City Marriage Bureau which becomes the sole resource for inquiries relating to marriage. This costs $15.00 per copy and another $10.00 if you would like to get more copies.

There are actually a lot of bureaus where you can seek for legal help from when necessary. These law enforcement units have been established to make sure that the criminals are punished and the innocent people are protected from these perpetrators and offenders. These agencies include the narcotics department, highway patrol, police headquarters and among others. They all have guidelines and policies being followed in the act of providing the citizens with credible details on public records.

The entire procedure to acquire a copy of the public records should be handy because all you have to do is secure a copy of the official records form. The form contains all the details which the records office needs to know to be able to initiate the search. Take note that this form should be completed in its entirety. Otherwise, the results you get will be incomplete or that the office cannot retrieve the information at all. Therefore, it is a must that you supply all the details being asked on the form.

But a whole new development has come these days with the advancement of modern technology. This is the time when those paper works are no longer a necessary procedure to undergo a public records search and more significantly you no longer have to wait for days before you get the results. Today, an online records service will do everything for you. All you have to do is pay for it and the next thing you know you already have the public records that you needed.
