official certificate of prior criminal record


Explanation:
This would work if the individual for whom the record is being obtained actually has a criminal record. But if the intent is that said certificate indicate an *absence* of a criminal record (say, as part of a job application), then it would have to be something like:

official certificate indicating absence of criminal record

agree  Lydianette Soza: Agree with Ray 'Certificate of lack of criminal records” but in plural?

agree  TechLawDC: "police clearance" is more idiomatic than "p.c.c.", in my experience.

criminal record disclosure


Explanation:
If it's for the UK, it's a criminal record disclosure. I had to get one last year for Spain.

In Spain, this certificate is to show whether you have a criminal record or not. I have one from last year. Needless to say, I do not have a criminal record!

Example sentence(s):
  • <b>Criminal record disclosure</b> Guidance on criminal record checks from the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) for recruitment and protection.
