Criminal Background Checks

 

# NY Checked™.

## New York State Criminal Record Search

---

Forget everything you thought you knew about New York criminal searches. While everyone else is paying $95 per name to the NYS Office of Court Administration and waiting days for results, CI's proprietary New York State criminal search, NY Checked™, delivers the same comprehensive statewide coverage for just $32.50, in 2-4 hours. This isn't only cost savings; it's a complete paradigm shift in how smart organizations approach New York criminal screening.

### What is NY Checked™?

NY Checked™ is a [New York State criminal record search](https://www.cichecked.com/blog/new-york-criminal-background-screening-why-the-traditional-approach-isnt-enough?hsLang=en) exclusive to CIChecked (CI), which allows our investigators to access conviction records in conjunction with New York State law enforcement.

CI's proprietary New York criminal record search reveals misdemeanor and felony information in New York State [without requiring an expensive NYS OCA](https://www.cichecked.com/blog/the-dark-side-of-nys-oca-background-checks?hsLang=en) (Office of Court Administration) state criminal record search, which costs $95 plus transaction fees for each name searched. NY Checked™ saves our clients the cost of running an NYS OCA state criminal record search on 9 out of 10 applicants.

### What Makes NY Checked™ Superior

- **Comprehensive Statewide Coverage: **Data from 57 of the 62 New York counties, plus town, village, and city court data that county searches miss entirely. (NYC boroughs not included).
- **Federal Criminal Integration:** Federal conviction data unavailable through standard county or state searches
- **Real-Time Updates:** Hourly database updates versus weekly updates from competitors (typically 7-10 years of criminal history)
- **Name Variation Matching:** Finds records even with [spelling variations, aliases](https://www.cichecked.com/blog/the-importance-of-ssn-traces-in-background-checks?hsLang=en), and date of birth discrepancies that trip up exact-match systems

**Lightning-Fast Results for Competitive Advantage: **NY Checked™ delivers results in 2-4 hours for clear searches, and just 1.5 business days when additional research is needed - dramatically faster than industry standards while maintaining superior accuracy.

### The $60 Per Search Advantage

Here's the math that's making CFOs smile: NY Checked™ costs $32.50 versus the NYS OCA's $95 fee structure. With 90% of searches returning clear results, you're saving $62.50 on nine out of ten candidates. For organizations running 100 New York searches annually, that's over $6,000 in direct savings - money that stays in your budget instead of funding state bureaucracy.

NY Checked™ operates on a sophisticated tiered approach that [maximizes both cost savings and legal compliance](https://www.cichecked.com/blog/the-critical-ny-background-check-flaw-putting-your-business-at-risk?hsLang=en). Tier 1 searches (85 - 90% of all cases) deliver comprehensive criminal intelligence without triggering expensive state fees. When adverse information appears, our Tier 2 research automatically escalates to primary source verification through the NYS OCA, ensuring full FCRA compliance while minimizing unnecessary costs.

**[Try our NY Checked Cost Calculator Here](https://www.cichecked.com/ny-checked-cost-calculator?hsLang=en)**

### Why New York Demands Specialized Expertise

New York's criminal court system is unlike anywhere else in America. While county courts in other states handle both misdemeanors and felonies, [New York county courts only process felonies](https://www.cichecked.com/blog/how-missed-misdemeanors-cost-ny-businesses-millions?hsLang=en). Misdemeanors get scattered across hundreds of town, village, and city courts throughout the state, creating a massive blind spot in standard county searches that miss critical criminal history.

Standard [county searches in New York miss misdemeanors](https://www.cichecked.com/missed-misdemeanors?hsLang=en) like forcible touching, DWI convictions, theft charges, assault cases, and weapons possession - all misdemeanors that are highly relevant to hiring decisions. NY Checked™ captures this town and village court data that county searches ignore, providing the complete criminal picture that keeps organizations safe and compliant.

CIChecked President Michelle Pyan has refined NY Checked™ since 1999 through an exclusive partnership with New York State law enforcement. This isn't some hastily assembled database - it's a quarter-century of investigative expertise and relationship-building that competitors simply cannot replicate.

**Reading New York Criminal Red Flags:** NY Checked™ results require nuanced interpretation due to New York's unique legal classifications. Some crimes that are felonies in other states are misdemeanors in New York, while the state's Clean Slate Act affects which older convictions appear in searches. Our investigators understand these complexities and provide clear, actionable intelligence.

### The Competitive Intelligence Advantage

While your competitors waste money on expensive OCA searches for every candidate, NY Checked™ gives you superior criminal intelligence at a fraction of the cost. This isn't just about saving money - it's about gaining a competitive advantage through better, faster, more comprehensive [New York criminal screening](https://www.cichecked.com/blog/new-york-criminal-background-screening-why-the-traditional-approach-isnt-enough?hsLang=en).

Unlike standard state searches, NY Checked™ includes federal criminal conviction data, providing coverage that extends beyond state court systems. This integration catches federal crimes that state and county searches miss entirely, offering more comprehensive protection against serious criminal behavior.

When NY Checked™ identifies potential criminal history, our automatic escalation to NYS OCA primary source verification ensures complete accuracy and FCRA compliance. You get the cost savings of our proprietary search with the legal protection of official state verification when it matters most.

### The Future of New York Criminal Screening

NY Checked™ represents the evolution of criminal background screening from expensive, slow, bureaucratic processes to intelligent, cost-effective investigative solutions. While others remain stuck in outdated systems, forward-thinking organizations are gaining a competitive advantage through superior criminal intelligence at breakthrough pricing.

**Bottom Line: **NY Checked™ isn't just better than the alternatives - it's in a completely different league. Superior coverage, faster results, dramatic cost savings, and exclusive access to data that competitors can't match. This is the future of New York criminal screening, available exclusively through CIChecked.

## Enhance Your New York Background Check

Learn More About Our Proprietary NY Criminal Record Search, NY Checked™

What is NY Checked™?

NY Checked™ is a NY State criminal record search exclusive to CIChecked (CI), which allows us to access conviction records in conjunction with NYS law enforcement.

This proprietary criminal record search reveals misdemeanor and felony information in New York State without requiring an expensive OCA (Office of Court Administration) state criminal record search, which costs $95 plus transaction fees for each name searched. NY Checked™ saves our clients the cost of running an OCA state criminal record search on 9 out of 10 applicants.

If investigators reveal the potential for a criminal history record (approximately 10% of the time), they will run the appropriate county criminal record search. Most importantly, CI NY makes a 100% positive identification for a subject before additional criminal record searches are run based upon name match and additional identifiers (date of birth, social security number, and address) before any adverse information is relayed to the client and subject.

At a cost savings of 30% on average, NY Checked™ takes only 2-4 hours to complete on most searches. When additional criminal record search measures are needed, it takes just 1.5 business days on average, well below industry standards.

[See it in Action ](https://www.cichecked.com/get-a-demo?hsLang=en)

How Does it Work?

CI will run an Origin™ search (SSN Trace) to confirm the subject's social security number, name, and date of birth.  From there, an investigator will check the subject’s address history.  

If they have lived in New York state within the past 10 years, CI will run a NY Checked™ criminal record search to see if they have ever been booked throughout the state.

[Book Your Demo—No Strings Attached. ](https://www.cichecked.com/get-a-demo?hsLang=en)

Is it Comparable to the New York State Office of Court Administration (NYS OCA) State Search?

Yes!  In addition, on average, clients save 30% or more by using NY Checked™ by avoiding third-party fees that are added when running an OCA state criminal search. 

There are no third-party fees when there are no criminal records found on the subject in NY Checked™.

Do you Need to Run Additional Criminal Record Searches when using NY Checked™?

Yes, but only when NY Checked™ reveals previous criminal convictions, conviction records, or other adverse information on the subject. If that happens, CI will do a primary source verification to obtain the most up-to-date court criminal record disposition data.

CIChecked only delivers misdemeanor and felony criminal record convictions to our clients.  Any violations or dismissed cases do not get reported.  When these additional criminal searches need to be run, third-party fees may be incurred.

Will the Subject’s SSN be identified when booked?

Most of the time, the subject’s Social Security Number (SSN) is included in the NY Checked™ results, thus leading to a positive identification before needing to perform any additional criminal record searches.  However, depending on the jail, there are very few instances when an SSN may not be included.

What if the Subject lived outside of New York State for the past 10 years?

We recommend that all of our clients perform a thorough background check.  If the subject has lived outside of New York State, CI recommends that you run a criminal record search in the appropriate counties based on the subject’s address history. Our investigators will determine the correct jurisdictions to run a criminal record search based on the client’s policy and Origin™ inquiry results.

Does this search reveal Criminal Data outside of New York State?

NY Checked™’s criminal record search is exclusive to covering New York State.

What Percentage of my Background Checks will need more Comprehensive Inquiries?

On average, eight to ten percent of subject’s will need additional criminal record searches based upon the NY Checked™ results to comply with the Primary Source Verification requirements of the Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).

How long does it take to receive the Results?

The average turnaround time for NY Checked™ is less than one business day. Usually within 2 - 4 hours!

Does NY Checked™ reveal Misdemeanor and Felony convictions?

Yes. Our criminal database has access to Federal, State, County, local, town, and even city court data.

How is this search proprietary to CIChecked?

CI is the only background screening company that can offer NY Checked™ to its clients by that name and with CI’s proprietary research tiers.  This is due to CI’s extensive knowledge and experience with the data since 1999. The law enforcement criminal data is not part of public records, making us uniquely positioned to help your hiring process.

CI also offers the data to other PBSA member background screening companies.  Through its exclusive partnership with the NYS law enforcement, CI has proprietary access to NY Checked™ data.

Is NY Checked™ compliant with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA)?

Yes, when no adverse information is found, NY Checked™ is compliant with the FCRA.
