How do you say "Should I submit this?" in Japanese?

Quick use

Use これをだせばいいですか (kore o daseba ii desu ka) when you are holding a form, copy, or ID and want to confirm that this is what you should submit.

It helps prevent handing in the wrong paper.

Chunk or pattern

This is best learned as a useful chunk.

The full line means “Is it okay if I submit this?” or “Is this what I should submit?”

Core words

• これ: this.
• だす: to submit / hand in.
• いいですか: is it okay?

Helper words and endings

• を: marks これ as the thing you submit.
• 〜ばいいですか: asks what is the right thing to do.

Practical note

Use this while showing the document. The staff member can then say yes, point to a missing item, or tell you which counter to submit it to.
