Could you fill out this form, please?

"Could you" + infinitive is used in this expression to make a polite request. You can use "can you" in the same way, but "could you" is more polite. We use "fill in" when we have to write information on an official form.

Other examples are:

Could you repeat that, please?
Could you
fill out* the membership form, please?

NB *American English

-- British English 'fill in this form please'
