Quick question for USA applicants: What did you do for the background check?

Since Thailand doesn't do apostilles, is it literally just a matter of uploading the raw FBI certificate PDF to the portal, or did you have to get it legalized?
Answer summary
USA applicants seeking a visa for Thailand commonly inquire about the requirements for submitting their background check. From the discussion, participants confirm that they successfully uploaded the PDF report of the FBI criminal background check without needing further legalization or apostilles, as this is not a requirement for Thai immigration. Overall, it seems straightforward to upload the raw PDF certificate to the designated portal.
