Fax from home without buying a fax machine
You can fax from home even if you do not own a fax machine or have a fax line installed.
Faxer moves the sending process online. Choose the document on your phone or computer, add the recipient’s fax number and send it through the web or mobile experience. The recipient still receives the document as a fax at their fax number.
This is useful when a school, healthcare provider, landlord, insurer or another organization asks you to fax paperwork but faxing is not something you do often enough to keep dedicated equipment at home.
Instead of printing the document, finding a fax machine and sending it manually, you can complete the task from the device you already use.
Common documents people fax from home
You may only need to fax occasionally, but some organizations still request documents this way. Faxer gives you a way to handle those requests without leaving home.

Family and caregiving paperwork
Handle authorizations, records and forms for children, parents or other family members when an organization asks you to return them by fax.

How to send a fax from home
You only need your document, the recipient’s fax number and a phone or computer.
Prepare your document
Choose the file you need to send. You can use a document already saved on your device or prepare a digital copy of paperwork you have at home.
Enter the fax number
Add the fax number provided by the person or organization receiving your document. Check the number carefully before continuing.
Review and send
Make sure the correct document and recipient number are selected, add a cover page if you need one, then send the fax.
Check the delivery status
Follow the status of your fax after sending so you can see whether it was delivered successfully.
Ready to fax that document from home?
Upload your file, add the recipient’s fax number and send it online without searching for a fax machine.
Privacy, delivery and document handling
Personal paperwork can contain information you do not want to send to the wrong place. Before submitting a fax, check both the document and the recipient’s fax number.
Review before sending
Make sure you have selected the correct file and entered the right recipient number before confirming the fax.
Follow the delivery status
Once the fax has been sent, Faxer provides a delivery status so you can check whether the transmission reached the recipient.
Check security information for sensitive documents
If you are sending medical, financial, legal or other sensitive personal documents, review Faxer’s current security and privacy information to understand how your files and account data are handled.
Use your phone or computer
There is no single device you need in order to fax from home. Use whichever one already has the document you want to send.
Fax from your phone
Your phone is convenient when the document is already stored in your files, photos or another mobile app. You can prepare the fax and continue through the sending process without going to a computer.

Fax from your computer
A laptop or desktop can be easier when you are working with PDFs, downloaded forms, email attachments or several pages that are already saved on your computer.
Whichever device you use, the basic process is the same: choose the document, enter the fax number, send and check the delivery status.
