Is the "busat al-yameen" (the underlying reason for the oath) to be considered here, especially since the oath was made suddenly due to the request for a large sum of money, and the request for the document came after the oath and was not part of the discussion about the money? And must the other party pay for the document fees and travel expenses to remove doubt?

If you did not have a specific intention when you swore an oath, then the reason for the oath is considered. You have not broken your oath by spending and striving to obtain the document, and your wife is not obligated to return the money. We advise you to beware of waswasah (whispers/obsessive thoughts).
