This Is Not a Government Office or Records Custodian. Queens Residents Directory is a private reference service. It cannot retrieve or certify records, confirm a current address, or change any government database. Direct those requests to the office responsible for the record. For an emergency, call 911. Anyone facing stalking or harassment should contact local police.
Finding the Right Queens Custodian
These routes match common Queens research questions to the appropriate record source:
- An address, parcel, or recorded document: use the Queens street directory route and the City Register's ACRIS tools
- A historical address or printed listing: use the city-directory collections held by NYPL and the Municipal Archives
- A court, voter, or vital-record question: use the resident-lookup route and follow that custodian's access limits
- Supreme Court records or certification: contact the Queens County Clerk, 88-11 Sutphin Boulevard, Room 106, Jamaica, NY 11435, 718-298-0601; published hours are Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., subject to change
- An agency record not online: submit a focused request through NYC OpenRecords under the New York Freedom of Information Law, Public Officers Law Article 6
For recorded-property questions, the Queens City Register office is part of the NYC Department of Finance and is located at 144-06 94th Avenue, Jamaica, NY 11435. Check each office's official page before an in-person visit because public hours and procedures can change.
