Send government documents by fax online
Many government offices, tax authorities, and public agencies still accept or require fax submissions. GoFaxNow lets you fax official documents from any internet-connected device — no machine, no subscription.
Why government offices use fax
Government departments around the world continue to use fax for official correspondence because it provides a tamper-evident, timestamped record of receipt. Unlike email, fax submissions cannot be silently discarded or marked as spam, and many agencies have legacy workflows built around fax intake.
- Tax authorities: filing forms, objections, and supporting documents
- Immigration offices: submitting visa applications and supporting evidence
- Social services: sending proof of income, benefits forms
- Courts and registries: filing legal documents and notices
- Licensing authorities: permit applications and renewals

Frequently asked questions
Can I fax a tax form to the IRS or HMRC?
Yes. Both the IRS (USA) and HMRC (UK) publish fax numbers for specific document submissions. Enter the published fax number in international format and your form will be transmitted via GoFaxNow.
Is the fax legally valid for government submissions?
In most countries, a fax received from an online fax service is treated identically to one from a physical machine. The transmission travels the same telephone network. Check the specific agency's submission guidelines to confirm.
How do I find the fax number of a government agency?
Fax numbers are usually published on the agency's contact page, on official forms, or in correspondence letters. If not clearly listed, call the agency's general enquiry line.
What if my government document is more than 5 pages?
GoFaxNow supports up to 5 pages per fax. Split longer submissions into multiple faxes, each referencing the same case or reference number so the agency can assemble them.
