How to send a fax to Brazil

Why fax to Brazil?

If your recipient in Brazil asks for a fax, you can send signed forms, supporting documents or other paperwork from your phone or computer. Confirm that the recipient accepts your document by fax and check their current fax number before sending.

What you need

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

• Your document: PDF, Word, image, or any supported file. PDF gives the best results.
• The recipient's fax number: Brazil uses +55. For a landline fax, enter the two-digit DDD area code followed by the eight-digit subscriber number. Omit the domestic zero and any carrier-selection code. São Paulo uses DDD 11; Rio de Janeiro uses 21.
• 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.

• 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 Brazil

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

• Local time: Brazil spans several time zones. Check the recipient's city and local deadline instead of assuming every office follows Brasília time. Send during the recipient's business hours when possible.
• Supported numbers: Use an active, supported fax line. Do not add the extra digit used in Brazilian mobile numbers to an eight-digit landline subscriber number. Premium-rate numbers are blocked.
• Cover sheet: include the recipient, department, reference number and your contact details.
• Use PDF for best quality: official forms, scans, and signed documents fax more clearly when converted to a clean PDF before upload.
• Check acceptance: confirm the submission deadline and any required follow-up. Delivery confirmation means the receiving fax system acknowledged receipt, not that a person has reviewed or accepted the document.
