Criminal history clearance from India

[ttjunky]

For our adoption process, we are required to get a criminal history clearance from India for one of the family members. He stayed in India for more than 6 weeks. Now we are US Citizens, where do we get this information?

This is what the document says:

"Out-of-Country criminal background checks require an original letter of honorable release from the US military or full-time ecclesiastical service from each country lived in, or call the country's embassy in Washington, DC for instructions on obtaining the criminal history check."

Is this something we can get from the US Consulate in San Francisco?

Response from Consulate

I did not realize that the guys at the Consulate respond to emails pretty good.

There is no child abuse registry in India, so the consulate may an issue letter saying there is none. I don't know is that the one the adoption agency needs, or there is a different criminal history check.
