Ask your state police for a police criminal record clearance.

Thanks for your help.  However, would it be more expeditious to request one from the FBI?  ALso, does anyone know the actual turnaround time for this request?  Thanks again.

I have a similar situation

Where do I ‘purchase’ one from? The site says that it is needed but nowhere does it say WHOM to approach and WHAT to say to them. I am in Germany for last one year and in the past lived for 2 years in Italy, and before that for 7 years in Australia.
So from my understanding three police certificates are needed - German, Italian and Australian.

My question is: whom do I approach for each such certificate? Will I be able to do this over telephone? What documents will be needed for obtaining the certificate?

Any help will be appreciated.
