呈交

Formal/written register, used for upward-facing submissions: reports, petitions, resignation letters, evidence to a court. Compare with neutral 提交 (tíjiāo, to submit) — 呈交 carries a hint of deference toward the recipient, since 呈 originally meant "to present (to a superior)".

usage

Common collocations: 呈交报告 (submit a report), 呈交材料 (submit materials), 呈交辞呈 (submit a resignation letter). Use 提交 in less formal or peer-level contexts (forms, homework, code).
