Yes, it's fine. Obviously you want to make sure you have a strong case and evidence to support your claim.

That will depend on the basis of the refugee claim and the claim details. You will want to provide evidence to show that you are personally being persecuted and/or that your life is in danger.

Examples could include police or court records naming you, hospital records, newspaper articles mentioning you. There are many other things that can be provided as evidence. Again, depends on the nature of your claim.

Hospital, court and medical records proving persecution or injury. Letter and emails from officials/doctors. Proof of moving and settling in new part of country to avoid persecution.
