Usage Note
Documentación is frequently used as an uncountable noun in Spanish, much like 'paperwork' in English — Necesito tu documentación means 'I need your papers/documents.' In Spain it commonly refers specifically to one's identity documents (DNI, passport). The plural documentaciones is rare; speakers prefer los documentos for multiple items.
Examples
"Lleva la documentación al consulado."
Natural Translation
Take the documentation to the consulate.
