How to send a fax to Netherlands

Why fax to Netherlands?

Nederland is een belangrijk Europees zakencentrum waar fax nog steeds regelmatig wordt gebruikt in overheids-, juridische en zorgomgevingen. Nederlandse gemeenten (gemeenten), rechtbanken, notarissen en ziekenhuizen accepteren gefaxte documenten voor officiële indieningen. Veel Nederlandse bedrijven in de internationale handel, logistiek en financiële dienstverlening houden ook faxlijnen aan voor het uitwisselen van ondertekende contracten en nalevingsdocumenten.

Als een Nederlandse organisatie een faxnummer verstrekt, is dat een betrouwbare manier om je document snel verwerkt te krijgen.

What you need

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

• Your document: PDF, Word, image, or any supported file. PDF gives the best results.
• Het Nederlandse faxnummer — de landcode van Nederland is +31. Een typisch nummer ziet eruit als +31 20 123 4567 (Amsterdam) of +31 70 123 4567 (Den Haag). Laat de voorloopnul van het netnummer weg bij internationaal bellen.
• 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.
