I'm applying for a residence permit (Iceland) and I need to get a criminal background check. I know I can directly apply to the FBI but that'll months, I'm told. Is there a quicker way I can get a legitimate criminal background check notarized? I live in California.

Thank you.

I'm an American citizen and my boyfriend and I plan on living in Iceland for about a year. I don't have a job secured yet, so I plan on applying for a residence permit without a work permit. Either I'm misunderstanding someone or I'm getting conflicting information. Can I apply for a work permit ...
