What is a criminal record certificate?
A criminal record certificate is an official document issued by a government authority (such as the Department of Justice or its equivalent in each country) that certifies whether a person has any criminal record.
This document is used to prove that an individual has no criminal convictions or, if they do, to detail the crimes committed.
