Absence of Criminal Records Certificate?

So apparently, as part of the application for my student visa to Spain, I must submit an "Absence of Criminal Records" certificate. Apparently the one I need is issued by the FBI, takes 13 weeks to process, and requires my being finger printed! I kicked off the process today with a trip to my local police department, only 2.3 miles away from work. When I get there, however, I learned that:
Fantastic...so, then, where do I go to get finger printed?

It was like they read my mind:
Well, why didn't you just say so? So, off I go to the Sheriff's department.

Oh good, looks like I'm headed in the right direction:


I was surprised by how nice the facility was, and how much convenient parking there was in the parking lot. You would just never get that in LA! I love you San Diego.

I had no idea who the Sheriff of San Diego County was! Interesting...

Getting fingerprinted was quick, painless, and efficient, even though it did cost me $32. But I succeeded!


Now to mail it...and wait 13 weeks.
