"Many other 3rd world countries such as India and others do not have thecapability of providing a national criminal. Some individuals live inremote area, where what happens is a tribal affair, the punishment is tobe banned from the tribe.

They willtell you NO, the background screening companies in India verifyemployment and education not criminal records.So if the companies in those countries tell you it is illegal and notpossible to do criminal records, what makes American companies dootherwise."
