no, you can only add tags to objects. You might want to try using XMP to add metadata to the document instead.

from the Reference

Tag

A label associated with a specific piece of artwork. Tags allows you to assign an unlimited number of

key-value pairs to any page item in a document.

Thanks for your response.

When I visit this doc reference : Adobe Illustrator CS6 Type Library JS: Document, class Document have tags as propreties, so why can't we add/use tags on document, it's very strange !!!!

yeah, it's a little confusing. The tags are added to objects, but they're also stored in the document. So if you have Object 1 with 1 tag and object 2 with 3 tags, in total the document will report having 4 tags. But tags are attached to objects not to the document itself.

In this case, You can use XMP Meta Data as CarlosCanto say.

You can reference below.
