in orderの実例に当たった

TOEIC新形式の最初の問題集パート４で以下の表現が使われていたのを覚えている方もいると思います。in orderとあればin order toが圧倒的に使われていますので、この表現はTOEIC必須ではないので興味がある方がが読んでもらえればOKです。

 

I want to make sure your paperwork is in order as soon as possible.

なるべく早く、あなたの書類が整っていることを確認したいと思います。

「書類が整っている」と辞書ではあるのですが、あまりピンとこず。。。

 

（ウィズダム）

〈公文書が〉本物で, きちんと整って

My passport is in order.

私のパスポートは本物です.

 

(オックスフォード)

in order

 (of an official document) that can be used because it is all correct and legal

synonym valid

Is your work permit in order?

 

夏の旅行でオンラインチェクインした時のBritish Airwaysの搭乗券にin orderが使われていました。日本人はVISAなしで入国できるからでしょうか、パスポート情報を入れただけでこのように表示されていました。

 

We have checked your travel documents which are all in order.

We look forward to welcoming you on board

 

in orderはこれまであまり実感がわかない表現でしたが、実例に当たると少し身近に感じます。ちなみにVISAが必要な国にも行ったのですが、その際には以下のようになっていました。

 

Your passport and/or visa(s) must be checked at the airport.

We are required by certain countries to check your travel documents before you fly. Please see a British Airways representative at the airport. You can check the passport and visa requirements for your journey using the IATA Traven Cenre at www.iatatravelcentre.com

例えば下記の記事によると、in orderな状態とは情報が正確で、期限切れになっていないという含みもあるようです。Before you head to the airport, you need to make sure your travel documents are in order.なんてTOEICで使われた表現そのままですね。

 

The Travel Documents You Need to Get InOrder, and When

Before you head to the airport, you need to make sure your travel documents are in order. The last thing you want is to be held up at customs because something's missing or expired, and no one likes being subject to "enhanced screening." Here's what you need to take with you, and how to make sure it's up to date.

 

For those of us in the United States, we're not really accustomed to carrying travel papers at all times. Usually a government-issued ID card or driver's license is enough to prove our age or identity to someone. If you're flying or traveling internationally, there's more to the picture. Let's take a look.

 

Make Sure Your ID Is Accurate and Up-to-Date

Take a look at your driver's license or ID card. Make sure it's accurate, and there are no inconsistencies with the rest of your travel documents. Also, make sure it's not about to expire (or expired.) Expired ID can definitely get you held up at a border crossing, especially if you don't have a backup form of identification. I've seen people stopped at the airport because their ID card was expired, or close enough to expiration that foreign customs had reservations about them.

 

If you're flying domestically, your ID is all you'll need to bring, but even visiting Canada, Mexico, or islands in the Caribbean require more identification. Birth Certificates used to be accepted at those border crossings, but that's no longer true. You'll need proof of both your identity and your citizenship, which means either a US passport or passport card.

 

in orderは新形式になって出た表現ではなくvol5のパート7でもありました。こちらは必要な書類が揃っていなかったので、書類を全て揃えて下さいという文脈で使われていました。

 

Unfortunately, since you did not submit all of the required documents, our policy prevents us from reimbursing your tuition at this time.

（中略）

I look forward to hearing from you once you have the remaining paperwork in order.

 

ネット検索していたくさん登場していますので、よく使われる表現なんでしょうね。

 

10 DOCUMENTS YOU'LL LIKELY NEED IN ORDER TOEXPORT YOUR PRODUCT SUCCESSFULLY

For companies thinking about exporting, attention to detail—especially in the form of your documentation—should be a top priority.

MARCH 29, 2017 Shipping products to another country requires that your product complies with U.S. export regulations for leaving the country, as well as meets the destination requirements for entry into another country. To do that, you need to make sure all your documents are in order. Mistakes or non-compliance can slow down the process and, in some cases, be time consuming and expensive to unravel. When it comes understanding and executing on the documents you need to export your products, details are the common denominator.

 

しかも、こちらもTo do that, you need to make sure all your documents are in order.とありました（笑）
