Swedish term or phrase: Värdehandling

Anyone have a great translation for this word?

I know exactly what it means, being 99% native Swede, but don't really think that Valuable Document, Value Documentation, Documents or Certificate are ideal translations.

In this context it is describing a vehicle warranty certificate, but I'm looking for a generic word that can be used for all types of "värdehandlingar".

Thanks!

Answers welcomed in Swedish or English, except of course for the actual word. ;)

Document of value

Explanation:
For what it is worth, Laura, the FAR word list does offer "document of value" quite simply, which can be anything from a banknote to a security to a bond.

It might not be as elegant as you want.

Grading comment

Thanks Paul. I actually went with Warranty Certificate in the end, because I felt the term was self-explanatory, i.e. that it is a valuable document. It's another of those annoying little words that you're never truly happy with.

Notes to answerer

Asker: Thanks for your help. Your answer works well in this context, but not all contexts. I actually went with Warranty Certificate in the end, because I felt the term was self-explanatory, i.e. that it is a valuable document, and I needed a punchy heading/ title.
