Terms of Use

Welcome to the NYC Court Transcripts Guide (transcriptguide.com). By using this site, you agree to these terms. Please read them carefully before relying on any information provided here.

What This Site Is

The NYC Court Transcripts Guide is a free informational resource that explains how to request court transcripts and audio records from New York City courts. It covers procedures for courts including Family Court, Supreme Court, Housing Court, Criminal Court, and others across the five boroughs.

The site provides general guidance on the transcript request process: which forms to use, where to submit them, typical fees, and what to expect. It also offers a request wizard that helps you prepare a transcript request packet tailored to your court and case type.

Informational Use Only — Not Legal Advice

The information on this site is for general informational purposes only. It does not constitute legal advice. The NYC Court Transcripts Guide is not a law firm and does not provide legal representation, legal counsel, or legal opinions of any kind.

Nothing on this site should be construed as legal advice regarding your specific situation, case, rights, or obligations. If you need legal advice, you should consult a licensed attorney.

No Attorney-Client Relationship

Use of this site does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and the NYC Court Transcripts Guide, its operators, or any individual associated with it. No such relationship is formed by reading this site, using the request wizard, downloading documents, or communicating with us by email or any other means.

Court Procedures Change — Verify Before You File

Court procedures, forms, fees, contact information, and filing requirements can change at any time. The New York State Unified Court System and individual courts update their rules and processes periodically, and this site may not reflect the most current requirements.

You must verify all procedures, forms, and contact information directly with the court before taking any action. Do not rely solely on this site when preparing or submitting a transcript request. Contact the court clerk's office or check the official New York State Courts website to confirm current requirements.

No Guarantee of Accuracy or Completeness

While we work to keep the information on this site accurate and up to date, we make no representations or warranties of any kind — express or implied — about the completeness, accuracy, reliability, or suitability of any information on this site. Court-specific procedures vary, and individual clerks may have requirements not reflected here.

Information about specific courts, divisions, or record types is gathered through publicly available sources and direct verification efforts, but verification levels vary. Some information may be unverified or out of date.

No Responsibility for Filing Outcomes

The NYC Court Transcripts Guide is not responsible for any outcome that results from relying on information on this site. This includes but is not limited to:

• Rejected or returned transcript requests
• Missed deadlines resulting from incorrect procedural information
• Fees paid for incorrect forms or to incorrect offices
• Delays caused by using outdated contact information or addresses
• Any legal or financial harm arising from errors or omissions in site content

Your use of this site and reliance on any information provided is entirely at your own risk.

The Request Wizard and Generated Documents

The transcript request wizard generates template documents based on the information you enter and the court you select. These documents are starting points — they are not guaranteed to meet every court's current requirements.

Before submitting any document generated by this site, you should:

• Confirm the correct form is still in use by calling or visiting the court clerk
• Verify the current mailing address or submission method
• Confirm current fees and acceptable payment methods
• Review the completed document for accuracy before signing or submitting

External Links

This site links to court websites, official government forms, and other external resources. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or availability of external sites. Links to external sites do not constitute endorsement of those sites or their content.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the NYC Court Transcripts Guide and its operators shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of this site or reliance on any information provided here, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
