Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries, asking for a credit check is usually done in a formal tone. It’s common to preface the request with a brief explanation (e.g., “para el contrato de alquiler”) to avoid sounding abrupt. Also, note that in Latin America the word *crédito* can refer to both personal credit scores and credit cards, so context matters.
