Bloodrager has a similar spell progression as the Paladin and Ranger, not getting spells until level 4. In both the Paladin and Ranger spells section it has this language:

Through 3rd level, a paladin has no caster level. At 4th level and higher, her caster level is equal to her paladin level – 3.

Identical language for the ranger, just switch the class name. So for a 12th level Paladin/Ranger, their CL is 9.

However the Bloodrager (although starting spell progression at 4th level like Paladin and Ranger), has no similar language in their spells section. In the Bloodline section, it specifically says

ACG: Bloodrager Bloodline (pg 15) wrote:
For all spell-like bloodline powers, treat the character’s bloodrager level as the caster level.

This at least implies that the spells might have a different CL than the Bloodline Spell-likes. To Get to the point:

What is the Caster Level for a 12th level Bloodrager? CL12 or CL9 like Paladin or Ranger?

Liberty's Edge

In the playtest versions of the bloodrager, the character's caster level was intentionally the same as his bloodrager level.The 3 level difference was never part of the rules, even though the bloodrager could not cast spells until 4th level.

If that has not been explicitly changed, then a 12th level bloodrager is treated as a 12th level caster.
