This is not a New York government office or records custodian. This private reference cannot retrieve or certify an official record, confirm who lives at an address, or change an agency roll. Direct those requests to the office named on the relevant source. For immediate danger, call 911. Contact local police if someone is stalking or harassing you.
Route a New York Record Request
These pages point to the right kind of custodian for common New York record questions:
- Address and parcel records: follow the New York street directory route to an assessor, GIS, or land-record custodian.
- Historical volumes: use the New York city directory page to find library and archive collections.
- One-person research: consult the New York resident lookup workflow and its verification sources.
- Statewide and county offices: start with the New York records offices overview.
- An agency record that is not posted: send a focused written FOIL request to the office that holds it.
