Ok two questions.

I know city background checks won't work anymore. So I need a state background check for California. I call them but they say due to budget cuts, only an employer can request them. Anyone know where they can get a state background check at?

And where do you get money orders? I did ask at the post office and the bank. Both said they don't issue them. As a person can't use a credit card as the money has to be mailed.

Thanks,
Daniel

I don't know about the background checks.

But you can get money orders in a number of difference currencies at Korea Exchange Bank. You can also get them at Citibank (though it is much more of a hassle) and Woori Bank will do them in US Dollars only.

KB does not do money orders. Not sure about the other banks.

If you are in the US you should be able to get a money order at a grocery store at customer service or at some gas stations. Look for a sign in the window that says Western Union or Moneygram.

Thanks, I will check out my local store. I am out ina hick town so no citi. I do have a HK bank.

But I need a money order for transcripts.

As for a background check I not sure how people get hem done when they are out of the country. As you need fingerprints, a signed paper and so on.
