How do I access public records without BeenVerified?
Access and compilation from different locations is a massive, time-consuming task. It's easy to overlook how much effort is required to get government records - in-person visits, hours of paperwork, hundreds of dollars of fees, hours of standing in line and so on, all for the few pieces of information you may be looking for. Not to mention, these offline sources release data in a piecemeal fashion.
Suppose you need to get access to court records, here are some of the steps you would need to take in New York:
-
Submit a detailed, specific request for court records directly to the Clerk of the Court or the County Clerk, allowing them to identify the specific court records in the court's indexing and record retrieval system.
-
If the record you seek is a criminal record, you'll need to check if it's being maintained by the New York Police Department or the District Attorney's Office and send the record request to those agencies instead.
-
If they've found your record, then it's a matter of paying a fee to get a copy of the record and waiting to have it mailed to you.
-
If you don't want to pay the fee, you need to appear in person or send someone on your behalf to the County Clerk's Office or the Clerk of the Court's office during regular business hours to inspect the publicly available court records.
-
Clerks will often have regulations to prevent disruption to their work, which may mean long wait times to collect the records.
-
If you want to take a copy of the record home with you, you'll need to pay a per-page cost to use the public photocopiers.
-
When all this is done, you finally have your court record. If you want to request additional records, you'll need to follow these steps again.
The limitations of free internet search
Google can be handy, but the sheer vastness of the internet makes it almost impossible to reach necessary data without a significant amount of time and effort. Common compromises include scrolling through endless pages, encountering irrelevant content or falling prey to unverified data.
BeenVerified delivers data at an affordable price
In the past, access to public records was confusing and expensive. It often still is. As such, that data has traditionally been easy for big corporations to access but the average person was almost completely shut out.
