Karolin Schmidt Jan 11, 2013:
In German it is "Sozialversicherungsmarke". That fits with cupón.
Noni Gilbert Riley Jan 7, 2013:
Como tal, ... ya no existen ni en RU, que yo sepa.

En España, utilizamos (si no está domiciliado, es decir, pagable por vía electrónica) unas hojas que se llaman *cupones* que son lo que se presenta si vas físicamente al banco para pagar la cuota. Con el sello mecánico del banco sobre ese cupón, tienes prueba de que está pagada.

(...)
The current system of National Insurance has its roots in the National Insurance Act 1911, which introduced the concept of benefits based on contributions paid by employed persons and their employer.[3] The chosen means of recording the contributions required the employer to buy special stamps from a Post Office and affix them to contribution cards. The cards formed proof of entitlement to benefits and were given to the employee when the employment ended, leading to the loss of a job often being referred to as being given your cards, a phrase which endures to this day although the card itself no longer exists.

Efectivamente como dice Noni, es algo muy antiguo y ya no existe. Yo he propuesto traducirlo como "contribución/aporte al seguro social" porque me parece que da la idea de lo que fue el "national insurance stamp", pero otra opción válida podría ser "cuotas a la seguridad social".

También podrías utilizar la explicación de Noni, es decir usar "cupones", sobre todo si la traducción de tu texto es para España.
