In depth
New York call recording law — a complete guide
What the rule is, the nuance behind it, the penalties, and how to record compliantly in New York.
The rule in New York
New York is a one-party consent state — only one party to the conversation needs to consent to the recording.
In practice, that makes New York a one-party consent jurisdiction for the purpose of recording business calls. The safest approach is a clear disclosure at the very start of every call, before any substantive conversation begins.
Statute and penalties
The governing law is New York Penal Law §250.00 / §250.05. Civil exposure: Civil remedies may be available for unlawful eavesdropping. Criminal exposure: Eavesdropping is a class E felony.
Disclose recording consistently and you keep yourself on the right side of New York Penal Law §250.00 / §250.05.
Cross-border calls
If you record a call between someone in New York and someone in another jurisdiction, the safe rule is that the stricter law governs. The generator on this page applies that automatically — add the other party's location and it rebuilds the disclosure around whichever jurisdiction is stricter.
Best practices for recording in New York
Disclose early and clearly, state the purpose of the recording, identify your business by name, and keep recordings only as long as you need them. Apply the same disclosure on every call so consent is consistent and defensible. When anything is high-stakes or ambiguous, have a qualified attorney review your disclosure.
