Así es.

PD para hispanohablantes: en inglés británico sería "I would like to check my luggage in".

"Documentar" is the usual verb I've heard at the airport.

Voy a documentar mi equipaje.
I'm going to check my luggage.

¿Tiene equipaje que documentar, señor?
Do you have any luggage to check, sir?

@Rusty: I would have expected to have a uniform kind of language for those things that should be "international", but it's true that many countries keep their own vocabulary also for travel and tourism.


@pjt: Thank you for the tip.
