That will then send an e-mail which includes a document access token, to the recipient’s e-mail address. The recipient will then be able to view your document.

The document share is almost instant. The recipient receives an email from us and is directed to follow a link for an access code to view your document.

  •  Instructions on how to use the online store can be found here. WES will not accept duplicate documents through postal mail, so if you place an order you will need to provide a postal address for the hard copy documents to be sent to after we have scanned them. 

Pre-2000 records
