Hi,

bureaucracy - WordReference.com English Thesaurus. I guess you could do pretty much the same for the rest (just click on "English synonyms"). There are, of course, many more dictionaries available (OneLook: General dictionary sites).

PS: For bureaucracy, in the sense of all the applications and other documents needed for whatever reason, and which are/can be a pain in the back, I particularly like "red tape".
