What Is International Faxing — and Why Does It Still Matter?
International faxing is the process of sending a fax document from one country to a recipient in another. While email is common for everyday correspondence, fax remains the preferred — and in many cases legally required — communication channel for government offices, healthcare providers, law firms, banks, and large enterprises across the globe.
Traditionally, sending an international fax required a dedicated fax machine, a phone line, and knowledge of international dialling prefixes. Today you can send an international fax online in minutes using GoFaxNow — without any hardware, without an account, and without a subscription. Just upload your document, enter the destination number with its country code, pay a flat USD $0.99, and the fax is on its way.
How to Send an International Fax — Step by Step
Using GoFaxNow as your international fax service is straightforward:
Open the send form.
Go to gofaxnow.com/fax — no registration or login needed.
Enter the fax number with the international country code.
Always start with the + sign followed by the country code (e.g. +1 for the USA, +49 for Germany). More examples are listed below.
Upload your file.
Select the PDF, JPG, or PNG from your device.
Pay $0.99 via Stripe and confirm.
Your fax is queued for dispatch immediately. You will receive a submission confirmation and can track the final delivery status on your status page.
International Country Codes — Quick Reference
To send a fax internationally you must prefix the destination number with the correct country calling code. Always include the + sign, then the country code, then the area code (without a leading zero), and finally the local subscriber number.

Frequently Asked Questions — International Fax
Can I send an international fax to any country?
Yes. GoFaxNow supports fax delivery to over 200 countries. Simply enter the destination number with the correct international dialling code — for example +1 for the USA and Canada, +49 for Germany, +44 for the UK, +81 for Japan, +33 for France — and we handle the routing and dispatch.
How do I format an international fax number correctly?
Always prefix the number with the country code including the + sign (e.g. +1, +49, +44), then the area code without a leading zero, then the local subscriber number. Example for a Berlin number: +49 30 12345678. Spaces and dashes are optional and will be stripped automatically.
Is there a subscription or monthly fee for this international fax service?
No. GoFaxNow is a pay-as-you-go service. You pay USD $0.99 per fax (up to 5 pages) with no subscription, no monthly fees, and no account required. Each fax is a separate, one-time transaction.
How do I know my fax was delivered internationally?
After your fax is queued for dispatch you will receive a submission confirmation. Final delivery status is available on your status page and will be updated asynchronously once the transmission completes. You can also download a dispatch receipt. Please note that the status reflects the transmission attempt to the recipient's fax line, and actual receipt depends on the availability of the destination fax machine.
Are my documents stored after sending an international fax?
No. Unpaid uploads are automatically deleted after 30 minutes. Paid and dispatched faxes are deleted within 2 hours. We never archive, index, or share your files. All data handling is GDPR-compliant, making GoFaxNow a safe choice for sending sensitive documents internationally.
Why did my international fax fail to deliver?
The most common causes are an incorrect or incomplete country code, an invalid fax number (e.g. a mobile instead of a fax line), or a busy/unavailable fax machine at the destination. Verify that you have included the correct country code, that the destination is an active fax line, and try again. If problems persist, check our FAQ page or contact our support team.
