Changes to the County Clerk Database

As a result of a complete overhaul of the Bronx County Clerk's Database System, a host of new services have been implemented. Some of the added services are as follows:

On-Line Access - Our office has implemented on-line access to information previously accessible only by visiting the office. It is our intention to allow as much access to the same public records that are accessible in-house via the internet or at least as much as State Legislation and OCA regulations allow. Simply register as a user and visit our Services section of the website to explore the different on-line services we provide.

Imaging - Images of documents may be available when searching our database for minutes entries, Business Records and Dockets. Printouts of these images will be available via our Certification Department, Public Retrieval Stations located strategically throughout our office or from our Website.

Look for these service enhancements in the near future.

The cost of purchasing an Index Number has increased from $170.00 to $185.00. This change is effective as or July 1st.
