The practical fax guide for official paperwork

Install the FaxTo app, scan or attach your document, enter the recipient’s fax number and send. You get a delivery receipt when it arrives — no fax machine, landline or physical fax line required.

Yes. Many tax offices, courts, banks and insurers still accept — and sometimes require — documents sent by fax, treating the timestamped transmission report as proof that the document was served.

A fax transmission report records the destination number, date and time. FaxTo returns this as a delivery receipt, so you have written confirmation that your document reached the other side — something email cannot guarantee.

FaxTo maintains a directory of source-verified fax numbers — government agencies, banks, insurers, shipping and telecom companies, plus international bodies like the U.S. IRS, USPTO and WIPO — each linked to its official source so you can confirm it before sending.

Common procedures include product returns, tax-office filings, social-security paperwork, credit-card disputes, subscription cancellations and consumer-arbitration applications. Each has a step-by-step FaxTo guide.
