Match Suffolk to the state and the criminal clerk
Suffolk County, New York
Suffolk County Court is at the Arthur M. Cromarty Criminal Court Complex, 210 Center Drive, Riverhead. The Chief Clerk’s Office is 631-852-2120. Use the court named on the case paperwork; the county name alone does not identify every local proceeding.
Suffolk County, Massachusetts
Suffolk Superior Court serves Boston, Winthrop, Chelsea and Revere. Its Criminal Clerk’s Office is at 3 Pemberton Square, 14th Floor, Boston; call 617-788-8160. The civil clerk has a different contact route.
For a New York outcome, request a Certificate of Disposition
The New York courts guide describes this sealed court certificate as the record of the charge, conviction, conviction date and sentence. Contact the sentencing court for its procedure.

✓
Prepare each case reference
Have photo identification and the docket number for each case. The court may also ask for birth date, Social Security number or arrest date.
-
✓
Confirm payment and any waiver
The guide lists $5–$10 per certificate and directs you to ask the court how to pay. A person on public assistance who cannot afford it may qualify for a fee waiver.

✓
Handle sealed-record authorization explicitly
A defendant needs photo ID and may need a notarized statement. A representative needs the defendant’s notarized permission to release the sealed information in the certificate.
Keep a court-case result separate from the broader history product
| Need | Official route | Important distinction |
|---|---|---|
| Current Suffolk New York case information | The New York records guide links WebCriminal for name or case-number queries. | This is a case-information route, not the issued disposition certificate. |
| New York court-history search | CHRS uses name and birth date; the guide lists a $95 charge. | DCJS personal arrest-and-conviction history is a different, fingerprint-based product. |
| Massachusetts name-based criminal history | DCJIS CORI uses name and date of birth. | It covers available Massachusetts arraignment information, is not fingerprint-supported and may take up to ten business days. A CORI response does not replace a particular Suffolk court filing. |
