criminal history record information pursuant to State
Law ARS-41-1750. Current law does not grant the

History Record information or a State Criminal Clearance Letter to a person for the purpose of providing it to another entity for immigration. However a person may submit a set of his or her fingerprints to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for a Criminal Record Check to determine if the person has any reported charges from the States to the FBI.
