Antecedent History At the Bar (I practiced for 15 years in England), we did refer to the printout of convictions as the 'antecedent history' or the antecedents. However, if it is for an applicaiton for something outside the criminal justice system, then criminal record would probably be more readily understood.

Police Information Check or Police Certificate https://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/en/types-criminal-background-chec...

"Types of criminal background checks
Criminal record check
A criminal record check will determine if a person has been charged or convicted of a crime.There are two ways to check if you have a criminal history:
Name-based criminal record checks
Certified criminal record checks

Police information check
It is also known as a police certificate, background check, record check, or reference check. Contact your local police to learn more.

Vulnerable sector check
is a police information check plus a check to see if a person has a record suspension (pardon) for sexual offences"

In North America we would use "Criminal Record Check" or "Police Record Check" since this document is a "check" [verifiication] of whether OR NOT you have any criminal record. If you absolutely want to use a document term, "Police Certificate" appears on the RCMP website.

Yes indeed We don't issue "certificates of non-conviction" in GB but in ROI the Police (i.e. Gardai) can issue a certificate of good conduct
neilmac Nov 18, 2020:
Long ago I had to apply for a "certificado de antecedentes" from the UK for my first attempts to obtain residence and work permits in Spain. When I tried to do so, I was met with baffled looks from the police officers, who had never heard of such a thing in the UK. I vaguely recall I had to get a notarised lawyer's letter to the effect that I had no outstanding criminal record.

Criminal record

In North America we would say "criminal record".

Sin antecedentes = No criminal record [No history of criminal offenses]

When you apply to a job and are asked to provide your criminal record because for a "criminal record check", to know if you have committed any criminal offenses.

U.S.:

"Police record checks" is another option; any convictions or offenses/pending investigations will appear.

Police Certificate (of recorded offences)

En Australia y en el RU ponen solamente "Police certificate"

Peer comment(s):

agree Emiliano Filippini : También lo he encontrado como "penal clearance certificate", saludos.

gracias, en Inglaterra y Australia no se utiliza "penal" (no sé en otras jurisdicciones) más bien, "criminal" pero para este tipo de documento no es necesario, se entiende que o bien lleva un "clear" o una lista de los delitos cometidos. Saludos

agree Marcelo González : Since 'certificado' is used, a 'police certificate' sounds like the closest natural equivalent -- basically, the result of a criminal background check
