How to send a fax to Taiwan

Why fax to Taiwan?

Fax is still used in Taiwan for business, healthcare, education, government, and logistics paperwork. Companies may request faxed purchase orders, signed forms, confirmations, or supporting documents when a paper trail is required.

If a Taiwanese recipient provides a fax number, unofax lets you send the document from your browser without international calling setup.

What you need

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

• Your document: PDF, Word, image, or any supported file. PDF gives the best results.
• The Taiwanese fax number — Taiwan's country code is +886. Drop the leading zero from the area code when dialing internationally. A typical number looks like +886 2 1234 5678 (Taipei) or +886 4 1234 5678 (Taichung).
• A payment method: credit card, debit card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay.
• Your email address: for delivery confirmation and proof of receipt.

No account, no subscription, no fax machine required.

Step by step

Sending a fax to Taiwan with unofax takes about two minutes:

• Upload your document: drag and drop or tap to select your file.
• Select Taiwan and enter the fax number: choose Taiwan from the country list. Type the number without the leading zero. unofax adds the +886 country code automatically.
• Enter your email: provide your email address for delivery confirmation and proof of receipt.
• Preview: check each page in the preview. Add a free cover sheet if the recipient requires one.
• Pay: the per-page price is shown upfront. Pay with card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay.
• Done: your fax is sent immediately. You receive a delivery confirmation once the receiving machine acknowledges receipt.

Tips for faxing to Taiwan

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

• Business hours: Taiwan uses UTC+8. Send during the recipient's workday for urgent paperwork.
• Drop the leading zero: local area codes such as 02 or 04 lose the first 0 after +886.
• Use a cover sheet: include the recipient company, department, person name, and any order or case reference.
• Use PDF for best quality: official forms, scans, and signed documents fax more clearly when converted to a clean PDF before upload.
• Include a cover sheet — a cover sheet with the recipient's name, company, and department helps ensure your fax is routed correctly, especially in larger organizations.

Common Taiwan fax situations

These are the kinds of local workflows where a fax number can still be the requested channel:

• Manufacturing and logistics: businesses may fax purchase orders, confirmations, shipment documents, and signed approvals.
• Government and education forms: agencies and schools may accept faxed applications or supporting documents.
• Healthcare paperwork: clinics and hospitals may use fax for records requests, referrals, and insurance support.
