Spanish term or phrase: certificado de antecedentes personales
Es un certificado expedido por la policía de Ecuador. Sé que este tipo de certificados se llama Criminal o Police Record Certificate, pero no estoy segura si para "antecedentes personales" es mejor otra cosa.

Gracias.

Explanation:
I believe that the term in police legalese terminology would be:

Record of prior arrests or offenses.
In the vernacular it is referred to as a "Rap sheet"

"...prior arrests..."

  • After being taken down to the ploice station, the detective pulled up his record of proir arrests on the computer.
