Dokumentojë is an Albanian verb meaning to document: to create, record, or provide documentation or evidence in a structured form. It is used in academic, legal, journalistic, and archival contexts to indicate the act of compiling information and sources.

Etymology: The verb derives from the noun dokument (document), which in turn comes from Latin documentum, entering Albanian through Romance languages such as Italian or French. It has been in wide usage since the development of modern standard Albanian.

The past tense is documented as dokumentova; the past participle is dokumentuar, used with auxiliary kam to form the perfect: kam dokumentuar. The form dokumentojë exists as the present subjunctive, used after që: që ai të dokumentojë (that he documents).
