first one for me.
in fact both are correct. Depends on what subject you assume.

The second one is not correct because it can easily be interpreted two different ways (the second meaning is not crass, but still quite funny). For business writing, you need clear sentences with a single and definite meaning. No assumptions.
"Upon the request of Mr. Chris, we have sent these records as required to be submitted to your institution." This one is correct.
The other question is whether "Chris" is the person's first or last name. We only use "Mr" with the last name; never with the first.

#2 is wrong.
The records do not submit. The records are submitted.
It doesn't matter who submits them. We are talking about the records here.
