Personnel Examinations

Down near City Hall the public marble steps catch most of the foot traffic, but behind them stands Personnel Examinations, a city office tucked away on quiet corridors. The City government office at 1 Centre St, New York, NY 10007 handles civil-service exams, pre-employment background checks, fingerprinting, official photo IDs, and notary services. If you need to confirm identity, renew a license, or sit for a test you can call (212) 669-7155 ahead.

Whether you’re dropping off paperwork for a permit, sitting an exam you’ve studied for, or picking up a notarized document, the team keeps the paperwork moving. Before you head over, pull up the map so the walk from subway to door takes just one turn.
