How to send a fax to Singapore

Why fax to Singapore?

Singapore's legal, financial, and government sectors continue to use fax for official communications. Law firms, banks, regulatory bodies such as MAS and ACRA, and healthcare providers routinely accept faxed documents for submissions, filings, and claims. Many Singaporean businesses maintain fax lines for contracts, purchase orders, and compliance-related paperwork.

If a Singaporean organisation provides a fax number, it is typically their expected channel for receiving formal documents.

To send a fax to Singapore with unofax you need four things:

Tips for faxing to Singapore

A few things to keep in mind when faxing to Singapore:

• Business hours: Singapore operates on SGT (UTC+8) year-round with no daylight saving time. Standard business hours are 09:00 – 18:00 Monday to Friday. Faxes sent outside business hours will queue at the receiving machine.
• No area codes: Singapore does not use area codes. All local numbers are 8 digits. Landline and fax numbers typically start with 6.
• English is the business language: English is one of Singapore's four official languages and the primary language of business, law, and government. Documents in English are universally accepted.
• Use PDF for best quality: many Singaporean offices print and file incoming faxes. A clean, high-contrast PDF ensures your document is legible after printing.
• Include a cover sheet: Singaporean businesses, especially in the legal and financial sectors, expect a cover sheet identifying the sender, recipient, and page count to ensure proper routing.
