Morphology

redocument = document (semi-transparent) = re + document

The core sense 'provide documents again' is regular, but the bureaucratic extension toward re-registration is not fully predictable for all learners.

Etymology

Redocument combines re- 'again' and document 'paper' or 'record'. So, here it means to get or provide your official papers again, for example when you need new registration or proof.
