Los Angeles Police Department
If you have been arrested by the LAPD, you may obtain a summary of your LAPD arrests. The summary will list the dates, charges, and dispositions (if they are on file) for LAPD arrests only. The summary will not include arrests made by any other law enforcement agency. You may elect to pick up you arrest summary or have it mailed. Arrest summary processing time varies, as it is dependent on the number of requests received.
To apply in person, go to Parker Center, 150 North Los Angeles Street, Room 210, between 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m., Monday through Friday excluding weekends and holidays. The fee for the summary is $16.00, payable by check, money order, or currency.

For recorded DOJ arrest summary information, call (916) 227-3822.
Federal Bureau of Investigation
You may also request a criminal history record for the purpose of immigration, emigration, and visas from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The FBI furnishes national criminal history records directly to the embassy or consulate that is processing the applicant. For further information regarding FBI’s criminal history records, call (304) 625-3878.
