The Mission of the Public Inquiry & Request Section is to process
applicants for Good Conduct Certificates, which are criminal history searches
within the environs of New York City, indicating whether or not the applicant
has a criminal history. Good conduct certificates are only issued under specific
guidelines (see additional requirements). The Section also takes Non-Criminal
Fingerprints which may be required to get certain permits or licenses.
