Spanish term

carta de no antecedentes penales

Spanish to English Law/Patents Law: Contract(s) -Documents
From Mexico. A document required of job applicants.
I do not know the English equivalent of such a document, other than "police records", but this is a document stating that the applicant has a clean one.

Discussion

Non-ProZ.com Apr 5, 2005:
here in the US, employment applications usually include a section asking the applicant whether he/she has ever been arrested, but no such document as a "carta de no antecedentes penales" exists, to the best of my knowledge. A "police clearance letter" maybe???

Police Clearance Certificate

As a sworn translator I receive this kind of document from many English speaking countries and this is the most usual name I find for this kind of document. Good luck!

confirmation of absence of criminal records

Closest thing I can come to. Usually it merely involves a search of local police records where the person has been living, and might not mean the person could not have a record in some other jurisdiction.

agree Ignacia Nieto Melgarejo (X) : `Yo creo que es mejor hablar de criminal records porque hay tres cklases de coumentos antecedentes penales, policiales y judiciales. Ahora respecto al confirmation of absence of ... eso podria ser aunque porque no solo Criminal Record Certificate

Gracias, Sp. (etc.).
agree Richard Cadena : Yours comes closest to the term "certificate evidencing no prior criminal record" found in Javier Becerra's dictionary. Saludos.
