claim check

Baggage retrieval stub

A claim check is a ticket or stub given as proof of ownership when leaving an item to be retrieved later.

You get one when checking a coat, dropping off dry cleaning, or checking luggage: Don't lose your claim check or you'll have trouble getting your bag back.

The term extends to any token that serves as a receipt for later pickup.
