Search Records Request
Vital Records (Birth, Marriage & Death Certificates) can be found at the city and town clerk offices; the Oneida County Clerk does not have access to these records.
*Please note our fees are set by New York State and are subject to change*
In Person Search & Copies:
You can search our Public records for free, in office, during regular business hours. Conducting the search yourself will save you search fees, however, copy fees (65 cents per page) will still apply. We are open daily Monday through Friday, 8:30 to 4:15 daily, there is no appointment necessary for searches, our office is open to the public. We have numerous public computers for searching as well as archival books.
Online Access:
Since 2023 the Oneida County Clerk’s office has been working diligently to make our records available online at http://www.searchiqs.com/nyone. In an effort to increase document availability and visibility, the Oneida County Clerk’s office acquired a Map scanner in 2024 which has allowed us to image our back file of Maps. This is an ongoing project that our Map Room works on daily. We have added additional staffing in our Deeds department to aid in the digitation and customer support of real property records.
Request Records by mail:
When submitting a copy or search request please make sure to complete the request form in its entirety.
Public Records: You can submit a search request for any public record using our Records Search Request Form. Please note there is a $5.00 search fee for every two (2) years searched. Once the payment is received and the search is complete our office will reach out to confirm the results and to discuss any copy options.
Criminal Certificate of Disposition Request: Criminal Dispositions are no longer filed at the County Clerk’s office however we collect the fees for County Court to issue them. If you would like to request a criminal disposition you will need to complete our Criminal Certificate of Disposition Request Form and submit it to our office with $5.00. Since these documents are no longer filed in our office, we are unable to confirm if there is a disposition available for any given case or individual prior to you submitting the form.
