The most comprehensive way to conduct a New York criminal record search is through the New York State Office of Court Administration ("OCA"). The OCA covers all 62 counties in New York State dating back to at least 1993 (the counties vary as to how far back they search) and includes all town and village records as of 2007. 

The best thing about the OCA "No Criminal Record Letter" is that no fingerprints are required. The search is based on the exact name and date of birth.

In addition to the computer printout stating your name, date of birth, and the phrase "No record found", the OCA issues a letter signed by the OCA Court Analyst of the Criminal History Record Search Program. This letter is issued on the letterhead of the Unified Court System of New York State, and reads as follows:

The information provided through the New York State Office of Court Administration only involves state level matters. If the country of intended use requires a federal background check, you will need to get an FBI background check. This is a federal document which will require an apostille form Washington DC.
