Spanish term
penados y rebeldes
Spanish to English
Law/Patents
Law (general)
From a Spanish certificate from the Justice Ministry to show that someone had a clean record - would this be a straight translation, i.e. 'convicts and defaulters', or is there a special term?

criminal records
If the complete phrase is "Registro Central de Penados y Rebeldes", this is referring to the central registry containing criminal records, in which case the clearest translation in English would be "Central Registry of Criminal Records".

: I don't understand why everyone is so eager to ride a hypothetical wave. Moreover, if this turns out to be contextually right -- Hello, Janon. Where are U? -- I have another solution.

"penados y rebeldes" is a set phrase that is almost exclusively used in reference to the Registro. Given that it's a criminal rec. cert., the hypothesis seems pretty sound. But I agree we need more context to be sure.
