Can someone who is NOT a Thai national help me out with how to get a Thai police clearance report? 
If you've done this before (as someone who is not a Thai national), especially if you've done this recently, PLEASE HELP!
I've lived/worked/studied in Thailand for quite a few years so fit in to the category of a non-Thai applicant.
I plan to apply from my country of residence, and will not be personally flying to Thailand. 

The criteria for a Thai national is a bit different, so I'd like to hear the experience from a NON THAI. 

I really need help with this because their list of requirements are quite confusing:

 

NON-THAI APPLICANT
• Passport with one photocopy - Does it have to be "certified copy" - does this mean I have to get it notarized? Also, I just send photocopies right? 

• Document(s) certify that the applicant is working, used to work or residing in Thailand. 5 years ago I was working/studying in Thailand but I don't have any of these documents anymore. The company I worked for closed so I am unable to get a letter saying I worked there. How did YOU fulfill this criteria? Is it ok to skip this one if you don't have these documents? I still have my visas on my passport though - would that help?

• Thai working permit (if available) with one photocopy N/A

• Requesting letter from the embassy of the country to which the applicant plans to travel. A notice from the US Embassy regarding your case (i.e. a packet 3 cover letter) can be used for this purpose. ?Will provide the NOA/packet 3 letters

• A photocopied passport of your American petitioner Does this have to be notarized? 

• Two photographs (1 inch or 2 inches)  check

• Three sets of fingerprints. Fingerprints must be taken at local police or at the Thai Embassy or Consulate in your country together with the official seal and signature of the official taking the fingerprints. Do I have to get fingerprinted at the Thai Consulate in my country? Can I get finger printed at any police station? 

• An envelope with pre-paid stamps and the applicant's address, to mail the certificate back to the applicant.  check

ANY and ALL advice from someone who's done this exact same step is greatly appreciated. :wub:
