Step 1: Log onto the internet and go to http://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/webcrim
Step 2: Click the “Log in as Guest” button. This will take you to a page with a word that you have to type. Type that word and press the “Submit” button.
Step 3: Click the underlined words “Case Searches”.
Step 4: You can search for your court date in a number of different ways, like by your name or your summons number. These types of websites work best when you only search by one type of information (like your first and last name OR your summons number), rather than searching by all of these types of information at once.
Type in the type of information you would like to search by and click on the “Get the Cases” button. If you can’t find your information, try again and do a different type of search (like by summons number if you searched by name before). If you find your case, you can find out more information by clicking on the words that are blue and underlined.
IF YOU CANNOT FIND YOUR COURT DATE:
Do not worry – sometimes it takes awhile for your information to appear on WebCrims. You can email WebCrims at webcrims@courts.state.ny.us with as much information as you know (name, summons number, name of the county and court). You can also try asking your public defender or contacting the court directly, as are described on the other side of this publication.
