The NYS Office of Court Administration's (OCA) Criminal History Record Search (CHRS) online application called "Direct Access" is available for business entities and corporations on a 24/7 basis. Access to this online application requires previous use of this service within the last 6 months totaling, at a minimum, 5 to 10 separate search requests.
Direct Access allows users to key the individual(s) full Name and DOB (both are required) and start the initial phase of the search process. Background checks for companies are also part of the CHRS program. CHRS results are verified, reviewed, amended, if necessary, and emailed to our customers with a typical turnaround time of four to five hours.
The cost for a NYS OCA Criminal History Record Search request is $65.00. Payment is made at the time of the request via JP Morgan Chase's Pay Connexion On-line payment process (includes a convenience fee which is separate from the cost of the search) by using your Checking Account (ACH) or Debit/Credit Card.
To apply for this service, print and complete the Direct Access Customer Data Sheet and PDF or fax it to OCA's Criminal History Record Search Unit by using the email address or fax number listed on the form.
