documentos
Formal written records
Documentos is the Spanish and Portuguese word for documents—official papers, records, or files that serve as evidence or provide information.
In English contexts, it appears most often in discussions of immigration, border crossings, or bureaucratic processes in Spanish-speaking countries.
The officer asked for my documentos at the checkpoint.
The word has become familiar to English speakers through news coverage of immigration enforcement and travel in Latin America.
