Varies according to location of appointment. The New York State Civil Service Law requires our Office to collect an examination fee from each applicant. Applicants whose application forms are not accompanied by the appropriate fee or whose personal checks are returned for insufficient funds will not be considered as candidates. Refunds of fees will not be issued to applicants who are disqualified for not meeting either the minimum qualifications for admittance to the examination or the application deadline, or who do not appear for testing on the scheduled test date. You should carefully review the announced qualifications and any residency requirements and apply only for those examinations for which you clearly qualify.
Assistance is available from our office via in person visit or telephone call.
