Business/policy audience might well understand 'certificate', 'diploma', 'passport', '50 euro bill', as all of them - state claims about someone/something; - come with assurances that it hasn't been tampered with (and we all know nothing is 100% sure) - they all have a signature (that is presumably) of the issuing party; - the bearing document may have lots of other features (that can be verified) that make it more difficult to forge. VCs do precisely this, but then in the electronic realm. I find these to be a more precise analogy to VCs than a chip in a passport, because the chip has functionalities that you can have it execute, which is not the case with a VC (or a 'paper' equivalent).
