Requests for official Rensselaer County criminal records belong with the government office that created or maintains the source file. The contacts below separate court documents from sheriff booking records, police reports, and a person's own DCJS history. This privately operated reference cannot accept a records request or produce a certified copy.

This Is Not a Government Office. This private reference cannot retrieve an official file, conduct an official check, correct a record, or accept a New York record-sealing motion.

Need an Official Record?

Use the contact that matches the Rensselaer County record:

  • Supreme and County Court files: call the criminal clerk at 80 Second Street, Troy, 518-285-5025, or the County Clerk at 105 Third Street, 518-270-4080, to confirm which counter holds the item
  • Your own state rap sheet: use DCJS Personal Record Review and schedule fingerprints through IdentoGO at 877-472-6915
  • Booking and jail custody: contact the Rensselaer County Correctional Facility at 518-266-1730
  • Sheriff arrest or agency records: contact the Sheriff at 518-266-1900 and use the county's official FOIL form when a written request is needed
  • City police reports: request the file from Troy Police, City of Rensselaer Police, or the other agency that created it
  • Record sealing: obtain the disposition and file through the court that handled the case

The Rensselaer County Sheriff and Correctional Facility are at 4000 Main Street, Troy, NY 12180. The Sheriff line is 518-266-1900 and the jail line is 518-266-1730. Court files remain with the appropriate judiciary clerk, not this sheriff location.
