against documents


Explanation:
Si en tu texto se quiere señalar "contra entrega de documentos"; lo que quiere decir que se espera la entrega de documentos al dar alguna forma de contraprestación; como cuando compras un vehículo usado en efectivo y el ex propietario te entrega un documento de propiedad.

Ahora bien, "contradocumento" según Cabanellas es "a document which opposes the effect of or contradicts another document".
(Diccionario Jurídico - Guillermo Cabanellas y Eleanor C. Hoague)
