Dutch term or phrase: sleutelverklaring
This is the name of a document which visitors to a company sign agreeing that they will not copy the entrance key and that they will report it if it is lost or stolen, etc.

OK, I know that literally this means 'key agreement' but I'm looking for something which sounds a bit more official.

Thanks!

key statement


Explanation:
I think this is the best translation for "sleutelverklaring". Key agreement would be fine as well but I think that statement is more, official.

Explanation:
An attempt to render the meaning of the term into a few words which tie it to your context, and focus attention on the fact that it is an actual physical key which is being spoken about. "Key statement" would usually be taken to mean simply a crucial statement or a statement of principle, and not something which relates to a physical key with which one opens a physical door. I am hoping that this suggestion will do the trick for you.
