Established by the Constitution and Laws of the State of New York, the Office of the Richmond County Clerk (ORCC) is Staten Island's oldest governmental institution.

Founded in 1683, the ORCC serves as a Constitutional Office and a diversified government service organization, overseeing four core business segments:

As Chief Recording Officer, we provide a wide range of public services and serve as the official records repository for Richmond County. We manage and maintain millions of vital legal documents and public records related to business, court proceedings, and real property matters. Additionally, we oversee various miscellaneous filings, collect associated fees and taxes, and serve as a revenue collection agency for the City and State of New York.

This website is currently undergoing a complete overhaul to better serve the Staten Island community and beyond. In the meantime, you may continue to interact with our office by selecting the appropriate subject matter listed on this page.

Hon. Stephen J. Fiala
