To get things started, would it be ok to scan the documents so we can get going on the application?
I don't have the original copy yet, so to get things started, would it be ok to scan the documents so we can start on the application? To proceed we can do this for now while I wait for the original document.
ご質問ありがとうございます。
「ずは書類のスキャンで申請を進められますか?」は英語で「To get things started, would it be ok to scan the documents so we can get going on the application?」と言えます。
また、コンテキストで「原本がまだ手元にないのでカラースキャンで申請を進めて、原本を後入れで受け付けてもらえるのか」という文書の英訳を知りたい場合、「I don't have the original copy yet, so to get things started, would it be ok to scan the documents so we can get going on the application? To proceed we can do this for now while I wait for the original document.」になります。
ご参考になれば幸いです。
