Common mistakes
Not natural: I need to document for my application.
Better: I need a document for my application.
Here, you need a noun meaning a record; document is a verb in “to document.”
यहाँ आपको रिकॉर्ड के अर्थ में noun चाहिए। “To document” में document verb है।
Not natural: I submitted a document my identity.
Better: I submitted a document proving my identity.
Use a phrase such as “proving my identity” to explain what the document shows.
दस्तावेज़ क्या साबित करता है, यह बताने के लिए “proving my identity” जैसा phrase लगाएँ।

Learner tip
Document can be a noun or a verb: you submit a document, but document an event by recording it.
Document noun और verb दोनों हो सकता है: आप document जमा करते हैं, लेकिन घटना को document यानी रिकॉर्ड करते हैं।
