Central Registry of Convicts


Explanation:
Register is a list of items, people, etc (in this case, of convicts)

Registry is the place where registers are kept.

Thus, I would assume that you need the registry, not the register

Criminal Records Agency


Explanation:
just for a change... it is not an exact translation but an equivalent:

QUOTE
a certificate given to those who request information about their criminal record
