I am applying for the Non Immigrant O-A at the Thai Consulate in Los Angeles. I need a police clearance certificate but how do I obtain one? Do I go to my local police precinct in West Hollywood? Thank you!
Answer summary
To obtain a police clearance certificate for your Non Immigrant O-A visa application at the Thai Consulate in Los Angeles, you can visit your local LAPD precinct in West Hollywood. It is recommended to ask them for the procedure. In some cases, you might be directed to a sheriff's station to complete the necessary background check, which typically does not incur costs and is completed relatively quickly. Additionally, it's advised to check online for any specific services available for background checks.

I had to get one a few years ago when I retired and relocated to Thailand ... I lived in the San Fernando Valley at the time. I went to the local LAPD precinct. They sent me to a sheriff station in Norwalk to get the police background report. It did not cost anything nor did it take long ... less than an hour ...

You might try the same as you mentioned ... go to your local LAPD precinct, sounds like West Hollywood, and ask them.

You've always needed a police background check for an O-A visa

Note that now they won't take those online police clearances

Mail Boxes Etc has a service that people use

Google is your friend, Back ground checks are state specific..
