Step One: Let's Get Started!

All of our documents come in PDF format in a ZIPPED file. What does this mean? Well, PDF means Portable Document Format and it should already be installed on your PC and MAC if you've recently purchased a new computer. If you don't have this software you can download it for FREE here for the PC and Apple Mac. Unlike Microsoft™ Word™ documents, PDF files can be used on most Windows PC, Apple Mac, Palm and Linux-based operating systems.

Note: You will need to ensure you have the Adobe Acrobat 5 or 6 version installed. Simply download the latest version to upgrade if you are using an older version.

Now what's a ZIPPED file? Zipped files means the documents you've just ordered (along with the instructions document) are packaged into one file called a ZIP file. It ends in the .ZIP extension. This helps keep sizes lower and also means you download ONE file instead of many.

Remember, every document you buy will contain an instruction file so you can learn how to fill in the document correctly.

Zip files can be un-compressed in the new versions of Windows and also with the FREE software Winzip™ for the Windows PC and StuffIT™ for the Mac and Linux operating systems which is also available for Windows PC.

You are now ready to go onto the next section!

Step Two: Create A Free Account

Just like the major Internet retailers, you will need to create an account before you can shop at Legal Documents Direct. This is very simple to do and will take no longer then 1 minute before you get going. Once you've created an account you can order documents quickly without having to re-enter your address details every time you need to order. You decide on your own personal password and with your e-mail address a unique account is created

When you go to the homepage of Legal Documents Direct for the first time, you will see the following message on the screen [Fig 1]:

[Fig 1] Create An Account - Welcome Guest Box

It asks you if you would like to log yourself in or create an account. Because it's the first time here click on CREATE AN ACCOUNT.

[Fig 2] Adding your account information

Of course, once you've signed yourself up you can login via the LOG YOURSELF IN link. You will always need to re-enter the password to your account when you arrive on the site for security reasons. You will be kept logged in without any activity for around 10 minutes. At any stage you can log off from your account via the button at the top of the screen.


[Fig 2] shows you the main box where you input your name, home address, e-mail address and a password for your account. You are also presented with the Terms of Conditions for the site - please do read these!

If you agree your account is instantly set-up and an e-mail is sent to the e-mail address you just registered with.

And that's it! You now have an account with Legal Documents Direct.

Step Three: Browse, Pay and Download the Documents

On the left hand site of the site there are the various Legal Document categories

[Fig 3] Browse through the Documents

so you can quickly drill down to the document you require in the relevant section. However, you can also use our excellent search engine located at the top left of the screen to search for a specific document and/or a keyword that will bring up the information you require.

You can also click on the "New Documents" link to bring up the latest documents added to the database since your last visit.

Once you are happy with the legal document you need click the IN CART button and the document will be added to your shopping basket. The basket will then display what it currently holds so you can either carry on shopping or go straight to the checkout.

Once you've clicked on the CHECKOUT button you are taken through the payment options. If it's the Free document you are downloading you won't need to choose anything - everything else you just click on the Worldpay option.

We use Worldpay because they offer a totally secure environment for your credit and debit card information. As you will see from your Web browser (at the bottom) a small padlock has appeared - always make sure you see one before you give your personal financial information over the Internet [Fig 4]

After your credit card has been processed successfully you will receive a confirmation E-mail from Legal Documents Direct and Worldpay PLC. Your credit or debit card will show a transaction for Boost Internet Ltd - this is the company behind Legal Documents Direct.


[Fig 5] Is the final part of the order process. At the bottom of the Thank You page you will see the link to the document you've just ordered. Click on that link and the download process will begin. Everything you buy has a Expiry date - normally set to 1 week from the date of purchase. You can download the document 5 times before it's removed from your account. This is purely a security measure. If you need more time, just let us know!
