Yes exactly, I'm in NYC so the NYPD calls it a good conduct certificate meaning clean criminal record but it's basically a criminal records check.

After being abroad for a while I am surprised at the process and length of time it takes to get a criminal report. In many countries you can go in to any police station, present your ID, and walk out with a national criminal report/good conduct certificate, in less than five minutes. Where I live now it can be done online in a matter of minutes, similar to getting a verification from the FAA. Sadly, for my next job, I have to make a special trip to the States, get fingerprinted, and then wait for 4-6 weeks.

Ridiculous, right?.....! The passport as well......, Even with the expedited procedure it takes several days to get a renewed passport, seems archaic to me......! In many countries you can go and deposit the paperwork and then come back a couple of hours later to pickup the passport!

You can do that in the States too, if you are at a facility capable of doing it. My last passport renewal was done in a few hours at the Tucson facility.

Letter from the Company with a copy of my ID did the trick. Same day service at the PHL facility.

If you happen to live in a city that has a facility I guess......, I've never been able to get it in less than a week..!

I did mine in Chicago in July, Dom. Drove up for the day and had it done. I would imagine you could stop off on the way home and have it done as well.

Some states are still stuck in the stone ages, others are moving with the rest of the world.
In some: go to police station, do fingerprints with a pre-requested form, wait forever, get results, by mail. Very efficient if working overseas. Other states take mere seconds, all done online, for just a few dollars, immediate results.

A lot of overseas jobs require the FBI record (the national record), not a state or local record. The FBI one takes a good 4-6 (right now they are claiming 12-14 weeks) weeks and longer if you require the Apostille. A bit ridiculous in the 21st century if you ask me, and downright embarrassing when other countries can do in in a matter of minutes.
