Please keep this document on file vs Please keep this document on file record

Both phrases are correct, but they have slightly different meanings. 'Please keep this document on file' is a common and concise way to request that a document be stored for future reference. On the other hand, 'Please keep this document on file record' is less common and redundant, as 'on file' already implies that the document will be recorded or stored.
