Why an extra $55.00 surcharge for some New York addresses?
In July of 2003, the state of NY changed their policy on reporting felony and/or misdemeanor record information. For certain counties, there is no longer a county seat available that reports felony or misdemeanor records. All information is forwarded to the state level. A NY statewide search is $65.00; however, all ERS-Canada clients are given a $10.00 discount to automatically order the NY statewide if applicable. As a part of the ERS-Canada program, the NY statewide is required if any of the addresses yielded per employee turn up in the specified restricted counties. Each ERS-Canada client is notified of the NY surcharge during the account setup process.
