Swedish term or phrase: borgenspapper
In a letter, written in Malmö in 1917, a young Swedish girl asks her prospective husband in the U.S. a few questions regarding her impending trip to North America: "Min andra fråga var den: Behövs det månne icke borgenspapper för att komme in i America? och kan och vill du ställa om sådana, om det behövs?"

Warranty document/ guaranteed authorization


Explanation:
Nowadays they use the word tillstånd(authorization) more often. By the context, it seems it is like a guaranteed authorization to enter in the American territory.
I would also translate borgen to security, responsibility, warranty
