Sending a quote request

Each provider card has a drafted quote request: a subject and a short message describing your job — the service, the document, where it was issued and where it will be used, and your languages, form, delivery and deadline where you gave them. The subject uses your own words for the document when you gave them ("pension statement"); with several documents, the request for a service lists the documents that service is for ("Documents: articles of association; board resolution") — one request per provider and service, not one per document, and one request for a business listed for several of your steps, naming all of them; when Abroadocs could not put a name to the document type, it names the work from what it knows instead — "Quote request: Swedish-to-Spanish certified translation" — never a label like "could not be classified". If you answered Abroadocs's questions, it also carries whether you hold the document, how many documents and pages, and where to deliver — so the provider can quote without writing back to ask. It asks the provider to confirm they can do the work, their total price including any extra fees, their turnaround, and which documents they would need from you. What it asks doesn't depend on whether the card carries the "Names its operator and privacy notice" mark; if you want to know who you would contract with, or how a provider handles your documents, add that question before you send.

• Copy quote request copies the text, so you can paste it into any email.
• Open email app starts a new email in your own email program.

Read it, change anything you like, and send it from your own mailbox. The provider replies to you directly.

The draft doesn't attach your documents. Share only what you choose, when you choose.
