ORIGINAL POSTER

On the website of the Thai embassy in the US for the visa application, it says: "FBI or certificate of criminal record clearance issued from State or Federal Bureau of Investigation". I asked if the "FBI Identity History Summary Checks (Rap Sheets)" is what I need to get. The Thai embassy in the US says that's not it.

What have others submitted??

TLDR : Answer Summary

The Thai embassy in the US specifies that an FBI or certificate of criminal record clearance is required for visa applications. However, there is confusion regarding whether the "FBI Identity History Summary Checks (Rap Sheets)" fulfill this requirement, as the embassy has stated that they do not. The poster seeks clarification on what documents others have successfully submitted.
