How to send a fax to Macao

Why fax to Macao?

If your recipient in Macao 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.

• 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.

• Supported numbers: Use the recipient's active landline fax number. Premium-rate numbers are blocked.
