English term or phrase: character
Tengo una duda con "character". ¿Se deja tal cual como "carácter", o eso queda muy Spanglish y sería mejor usar otro término, como "personalidad", por ejemplo?

Gracias!

reputación


Explanation:
Según Alcaraz y Hughes, 'character evidence' es 'testimonio de reputación', y, aunque aquí el contexto no es judicial, parece obvio que la empresa (aseguradora, ¿no?) quiere comprobar que no eres un malandrín, es decir, que no tienes 'mala reputación'.

Certificado de buena conducta


Explanation:
David: entre otras acepciones, character reference es un "testimonio de solvencia moral", lo cual para este tipo de documento es un poco rimbombante y no muy utilizado. Sí es ampliamente conocido el "certificado de buena conducta", que,en mi opinión, encaja perfectamente con el resto del texto.

Suerte,
M.
