Check whether your destination is supported
Before sending an international fax, make sure Faxer supports the country you need to reach.
Start by selecting the recipient's country in the fax form. Faxer adds that country's calling code for you, so you only enter the recipient's national fax number. You also confirm the destination before your document goes out.
International fax availability can depend on the destination, so it is worth checking this first, especially if you are sending time-sensitive paperwork to a business, government agency, healthcare provider, bank, or another organization abroad.
Choose the recipient's destination
Common destinations are listed here. Find any calling code in the country code reference.
How to send an international fax online
Sending an international fax takes four steps in the browser or the app. No international phone line, no physical fax machine.
Upload your document
Pick the file you want to fax. You can add a cover page at this point if the recipient expects one.
Choose the destination
Select the recipient's country and enter their number. Faxer puts the matching country calling code in front for you.
Send the fax
Review the document and the full number, then send it. No fax machine or phone line involved.
Track delivery
Follow the status of the fax until delivery is confirmed, and let Faxer retry if the line is busy.
How to find and format an international fax number
You send to someone else's fax line, so the number comes from them. Ask the recipient or their organization for the fax number and for the country it belongs to, then check it against the format explained below before you send.
Confirm the destination country
A number written for local dialing is not ready to send abroad. Knowing the country tells you which calling code belongs in front of it.
Format an international fax number correctly
An international fax number needs the recipient's country calling code as well as their national fax number. In Faxer, the calling code comes from the country you select.
In many countries a number written for local dialing starts with a trunk prefix, often a 0, that is dropped once the country calling code is in front. This is not universal, so check the convention for the destination you are sending to.
Getting this part right matters. A valid fax number in local format may not work internationally if the country code or national number is entered incorrectly.
In Faxer you select the destination country in the recipient step and the prefix is filled in automatically, so the only digits you type are the national fax number.
The basic structure

Local trunk prefixOften dropped
Faxer adds the calling code once you pick the country. Review the rest of the number yourself: a missing digit stops the transmission, and prefix rules vary by destination.

Frequently asked questions
Add a cover page if you need one, select the document you want to fax, then choose the recipient's country and enter their fax number. Faxer fills in the country prefix for you. Review the details, send the fax, and check the delivery status through Faxer.
Select the recipient's country when starting your fax. Checking the destination before sending helps you confirm availability and prepare the number correctly.
An international number is the recipient's country calling code followed by their national fax number. In Faxer you select the country and the calling code is added automatically, so you enter the national number only, leaving out the domestic trunk prefix used for calls inside that country.
A calling code identifies the country a fax line belongs to and goes in front of the national number. In many countries the local trunk prefix is dropped once the code is added, though the rule varies by destination. Any code can be looked up in the country code reference on this page.
There are no additional charges for sending international faxes. All countries supported by Faxer are included in your subscription plan, so you won’t pay any extra fees based on the destination country. Learn more about how to send an international fax and which countries are supported.
