How to send a fax to Chile

Why fax to Chile?

If your recipient in Chile 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 Chile 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: Chile uses +56 followed by a nine-digit national number. Include the area code: a Santiago landline starts +56 2 followed by eight subscriber digits. Do not add a domestic leading zero.
• 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.

Tips for faxing to Chile

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

• Local time: Chile has regional time-zone and daylight-saving differences. Check the recipient's local time rather than assuming every location follows Santiago. Send during the recipient's business hours when possible.
• Supported numbers: Numbers starting +56 9 are not supported. Use the recipient's landline fax number. Premium-rate numbers are also 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.
