Is this correct English?

Hi!

I'm translating a form into English and translated one of the explanations as follows:

Reason providing grounds of the document is to be specified

It should mean that the person who fills in the form should specify grounds why the document is being filled in. My question is: can I use "is to be specefied" in English?

Thanks Emotion: smile

Anonymous Reason providing grounds of the document is to be specified To be specified - means ' to be announced in the future' which is fine. What is confusing is " reason " and "ground" which have similar meaning.
