PRIVACY & ORIGINALS
Bring only the information needed for the job.
Customers should remove or cover unnecessary confidential information and confirm the intended recipient before delivery. Phoenix handles documents for the agreed service but does not provide certified records management, indefinite storage or a guarantee against every electronic risk. Fragile, damaged, bound or irreplaceable originals are assessed before scanning and may be declined. Customers must review file completeness and legibility before leaving or deleting original records.

Frequently asked
Before leaving documents for scanning.
Can you scan identification and official documents?
Scanning may be available for lawful customer purposes. Bring only necessary documents, protect unnecessary personal information and verify any submission requirements with the receiving organization.
Can files be sent directly by email?
Files can be prepared for email where size and service conditions allow. The customer must confirm the correct address and review delivery; Phoenix cannot guarantee a third party receives or accepts the message.
Do you keep copies after delivery?
Do not rely on Phoenix as permanent storage. Ask about the current deletion and retention process, download your files promptly and keep your own backup.
Are scans certified or legally equivalent to originals?
No. Standard scanning creates digital copies. Certification, notarization, admissibility and acceptance are determined by the relevant institution or authority.
