Our office maintains records of felony convictions that took place in Westchester County.  If the record you are looking for is a misdemeanor or violation (unless a lesser included charge or reduced plea for a felony charge), please contact the local municipality where that conviction took place.   If you wish to obtain a record or conduct a criminal records search through this office, you may come into the Westchester County Clerk’s Office personally or submit a request through the mail. Through the mail, please provide the Defendant name and approximate date the action may have taken place. Any other related information that you can provide will be helpful. There is a statutory $5.00 fee for the search through the mail. If you require a certified copy, please include an additional $5.00 fee.   Fees should be made payable to The Westchester County Clerk.

Please note that criminal records sealed by the New York State Criminal Procedure Law and the Civil Rights Law are only accessible to a party to the action, attorney of record, a person with a signed and notarized letter of release, or pursuant to court order.

You may also contact the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services for a criminal history record.
