Documentation of the refusal from the state if no search was performed; or

2. Documentation showing that the individual contacted the state in writing to obtain the results of the child abuse and neglect registry or criminal record history at least 45 days after the initial request.

Not all states will respond in writing, this should be more clear in what the type of documentation is ok. If I print from the states website that they will not release records to private facilities, is that sufficent?
