NYS Division of Parole (Certificates of Relief and Good Conduct)

Some rights are restored over time, such as your right to obtain a professional or trade license and to serve in a public office. To obtain these rights after probation or parole you need to qualify for a Certificate of Relief or a Certificate of Good Conduct; both are issues by the NYS Division of Parole. How you qualify for these depends on the type of crime committed and the amount of time that has passed since you were released.
