Will my FBI identity history summary meet the consulate's requirements despite a disclaimer about local criminal history?
I received my identity history summary from the FBI today and it says no prior arrest data. However, it also says " this does not preclude further criminal history at the state or local level". Is this what they all say and it will meet the requirement of the consulate?
Answer summary
The FBI identity history summary indicating no prior arrests is generally recognized by Thai authorities as comprehensive regarding criminal history. The statement regarding potential state or local criminal history is a legal disclaimer, reflecting that some infractions may not be included. However, it is rarely an issue, and the summary should usually meet consulate requirements for visa applications.

The FBI CJIS Identity History Summary Check (Rap Sheet) is recognized by various Thai authorities and most foreign authorities around the world as encompassing most criminal history of most people
A legal disclaimer statement by the FBI that there might be some local or U.S. State criminal infractions that might not be included in a FBI Rap Sheet because possibly (unlikely) a local law enforcement officer might not have uploaded into the database system is extremely rare and to go around to each of the 3144+ (3244) Counties throughout the USA to request a Criminal Background Report from each of them is unrealistic and also, it is very unlikely a speeding ticket that could have somehow turned into a criminal arrest could have been missing in a FBI Rap Sheet Report is unlikely, if indeed so, very rare
