No criminal record for the individual in question / Name not found
It sounds like the check was run, and that the person who was being checked had no criminal record. Literally, the phrase means that the name was not found.

Non-existent Criminal Record
Dear Bettina:
The target term is actually what I believe a valid interpretion to convey the message; moreover, it stems from arriving to the conclusion that upon searching a criminal record database for the person´s name, it has yielded no positive results. As you can see my confidence is only at a medium level. Therefore, let us wait for the imput of other peers.
Warm Regards,
Luis

Example sentence:
Some private re-sellers claim to offer an NCIC record search. .... A Clear Criminal Record Certificate or existing Criminal Record can be requested by individuals
(US) efficacy of name-based searches was established; name-based searches and fingerprint .
