The secretary of state for that state can provide that information.

Only in the United States. There are almost two hundred countries in the world. What if the request comes in from Kiribati?

If you give them days, weeks or perhaps months to come up with a response. Sure.

Not going to work internationally anyway.

You are being intentionally argumentative, and not in a devil's advocate, let's explore all the consequences of the topic at hand kind of way.

You are engaging in bad faith, please stop it.

That’s really not the case. What is “bad faith” about suggesting that the secretary of state probably isn’t going to rapidly solve this problem for you?

It’s not even about being a “devils advocate”, the balance of probabilities rests squarely on the side of this being far more difficult than many commenters here try to make it out to be.

I think it is you who is engaging in bad faith.
