Certificate of Conduct

A Certificate of Disposition is an official court document that indicates the current status of a case or its final disposition.

To request a Certificate of Disposition, you must bring the following items to the court in the borough where your case was filed:

If you are on public assistance and can't afford the fee, ask the court about getting a fee waiver.
