implement
Explanation:
Whereas "instrument" is indeed "document", I have rarely seen the verb "instrumentar" used in Spanish to mean to set something down in writer or to document; rather, more in the sense of "implementing". Just a personal appreciation, I would go this way, I think, if I had to translate.

I meant "set down in writing", of course. Sorry for typo.
