This Is Not a Government Office or Records Custodian. This private reference cannot retrieve, certify, alter, or remove a government record, and it cannot confirm who lives at an address. Send those requests to the record holder. For an emergency, dial 911. If someone is stalking or harassing you, contact local police.
Finding the Right Schenectady Custodian
Use the record type and its date to select the right Schenectady route:
- Who owns or lives along a street: see the Schenectady street directory
- Old directory volumes and past residents: see the Schenectady Directory Book collections
- Finding or verifying one person: see the Schenectady resident lookup walkthrough
- The offices behind the rolls: see Schenectady resident records offices
- Records not available online: make a focused request under the New York Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) with the custodian named for that record
The County Clerk is the direct route for recorded instruments and clerk copies. City Hall handles city-held records and city FOIL questions. Give the office a record type, address or name, and date range so it can identify the appropriate index, counter file, or request channel.
