Hi, I need to scan my house deeds, its a lot of paper! Does anyone know where there is a facility to scan and put onto an email all at once? I have my own scanner printer bit it would mean scanning each page at a time! It'll take hours! Many thanks!

You could use Scanner Pro on your phone.

I recently scanned documents via ‘notes’ on my iPhone and emailed them successfully.

Doubt that there is a way, you will need to scan each page into a PDF file.

Try asking at a print, photocopy shop. Theres a machine called a document scanner. Similar to a photocopy machine.
Its function is load documents into the machine and a PDF file is produced.

Some of the modern photocopy machines may have this function

I agree it's a total pain to scan lots of stuff on a home scanner.  My three-in-one machine has an automatic document feeder but your docs need to be identical and very flat to avoid jamming and it's still not that quick. So you could find someone with one of those. 

Best bet is to aim for a print type shop with a big machine.  Ours at work would scan incredibly quickly, over 50 pages a minute and would put all of it on a USB stick. Then you could take that home and email them as one compressed/zipped file.

Sorry I can't guide you to a suitable shop, but it's 10 years since I lived in Torre.  I'm sure someone will chip in with a suggestion. Good luck.

If it was a recent house purchase, you could ask the Notary Public that completed the sale. They should have a scanned copy on file and should not charge for supplying a copy. Even if it was not recent, it is worth asking them Good luck.
