Wouldn't it be "Ihr Papiere, bitte?"
My German grammar is rusty, but I believe Ihre is the accusative plural (papers being plural), though I think you're right, Papier should be accusative, as in '[you] [give me] your papers.' Regardless, 'Ihre Papiere, bitte' was a common phrase in Nazi Germany.

Hmm, that makes sense. I'm iffy on when and how pronouns should be changed.
