documented
Put in writing
Documented means recorded in writing or other media, creating an official or verifiable record.
A documented immigrant has legal papers establishing their status.
A documented case has evidence supporting it.
To say something is well-documented means abundant records exist: The health risks of smoking are well-documented.
The word implies proof or authentication—what's documented can be checked.
