About Oswego Town public records
Oswego Town is a town in Oswego County, New York, on the eastern shore of Lake Ontario, and it is a separate municipality from the City of Oswego, the county seat, which it borders. The town clerk is the local registrar and keeps the town's own records, such as marriage licenses, local birth and death records, dog licenses and town board minutes, while deeds, mortgages and court files are held by the Oswego County Clerk and the county courts in the city of Oswego. Criminal records are maintained by the Oswego County Sheriff's Office and the local police departments. Residents can conduct background checks through the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services, which provides full criminal history reports. The New York State Police also offers resources for Oswego residents seeking detailed criminal background information.
