Why is there an extra $52.00 surcharge associated with NY 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 $62.00, however all e-RAILSAFE clients are given a $10.00 discount to automatically order the NY statewide if applicable. As a part of the e-RAILSAFE program, the NY statewide is required if any of the address yielded per employee turn up in the specified restricted counties. Each e-RAILSAFE client is notified of the NY surcharge during the account setup process.
