Send legal documents by fax online
Some courts, counterparties, and registries request or accept fax for particular correspondence. GoFaxNow lets legal professionals submit documents from any device — no dedicated fax line, hardware, or account required. Confirm the recipient's procedural requirements before sending.
Why legal professionals still use fax
Some courts, registries, counterparties, and legal organisations request or accept fax for particular correspondence. A fax service can provide a time-stamped technical transmission status, but acceptance rules vary by recipient, procedure, and jurisdiction.
- Procedural correspondence where the receiving organisation expressly accepts fax
- Signed agreements where the parties and applicable rules permit fax transmission
- Regulatory correspondence where the agency's current instructions permit fax
- Privacy-focused processing with short document-retention periods
