Can I use a fax confirmation as proof of filing?

We email a timestamped delivery confirmation once your fax transmits. Many courts and agencies accept this as evidence of a timely send, but always check the specific filing rules that apply to your matter.

Can I fax a multi-page contract?

Yes. A single fax covers up to 10 pages for $3, regardless of how many pages — a 9-page contract costs the same as a 1-page letter.

Do I need an account?

No. The one-time $3 fax needs no signup. If you send legal faxes regularly, a 10-credit bundle is $20.

Will the recipient see that I used an online fax service?

The recipient receives a standard fax. What appears in the header line depends on the carrier route, so if a court requires a specific originating number on the transmission, confirm their rule before relying on fax for a filing deadline.

Why courts and law firms still run on fax

Fax survives in legal work for two reasons that email never solved. First, a fax produces a transmission record generated by the carrier rather than by either party, which is harder to dispute than a sent-items folder. Second, many court clerks and agencies have filing rules written decades ago that name fax explicitly and have never been amended.

The practical consequence is that a solo practitioner, a pro se litigant, or anyone dealing with a government agency will eventually be told to fax something — usually with a deadline attached and usually without owning a fax machine.

Before you fax a court filing

Check the specific rule that governs your matter. Fax filing acceptance varies by jurisdiction, by court within a jurisdiction, and sometimes by document type within a court. Some courts accept fax filings only for specific motions; some require a fax filing cover sheet with a case number; some have abandoned fax entirely in favour of an e-filing portal and will discard a faxed document without telling you.

Watch for page limits and cutoff times. Many clerks treat anything received after a stated hour as filed the next business day, which turns a same-day filing into a late one. Some impose per-transmission page caps.

Confirm receipt by phone for anything genuinely deadline-critical. A transmission confirmation proves you sent it to that number; it does not prove a human at the other end put it in the right file.

Check this	Why it bites
Does the court accept fax filings at all?	Many have moved to e-filing only and silently discard faxes.
Is a fax cover sheet required?	Missing case-number cover sheets are a common rejection reason.
What is the daily cutoff time?	Late-in-the-day transmissions are often docketed the next business day.
Is there a page limit per transmission?	Over-limit filings may be truncated or refused.
Do you need to follow with a hard copy?	Some clerks treat the fax as provisional until originals arrive.

Making sure a signed document arrives legible

Fax transmits in black and white at roughly 200 dpi. Anything relying on grey tone or colour degrades badly — a light-blue ink signature can drop out almost entirely, and a photocopied exhibit that is already grey can arrive as a black smear.

Sign in black or dark blue ballpoint, not pencil or a fine grey gel pen. Scan at 300 dpi in black-and-white or greyscale rather than colour. If you are photographing a page instead of scanning it, shoot straight down on a flat page in even light, with the full page in frame.

If a document has to be readable at the far end and it matters, send it to yourself first and look at what comes out.
