SCAN & SUBMIT
Here are a few key scan tips:
​
- Get us a high resolution scan (300+ dpi 'dots per inch' is great but 200 dpi will generally do the job). Each scanner is different, but you should be able to adjust the resolution.
​
- Do a COLOR scan even if the original is black and white. It often helps with readability.
​
- A high-quality photo might work, but a good scan is better.
REVIEW FREE QUOTE
Your family document is unique, and so is each one of our quotes. Roughly five days after sending us the scans of your family documents you will receive your custom quote.
​
For pricing, we take into account lots of factors including:
- LEGIBILITY - rough handwriting or printing.
- LENGTH OF DOCUMENT - sometimes the more writing, the easier it is to make out an individual's quirks in handwriting, but not always.
- COMPLEXITY - some content and graphics are easier than others. Items with many technical terms or abbreviations take more time. Contextual Notes might be more or less involved depending on your family document.
APPROVE & PAY
After you receive our quote, give us a "go-ahead" and pay right away or feel free to ask questions. We want to make sure that you are comfortable with your quote.
