Which division depends on the document — a civil paper, a family form, or a records request. If you are unsure, call the clerk's office and describe the request to be routed correctly. Sending to the wrong division only adds a routing step and a delay.
Not one central number. The clerk's office splits incoming faxes across several divisions. Ask for the division you actually need to get the right number. Keep the confirmed number with your case file so you are not searching next time.
Put the case number and the party names on every page. State the specific clerk's division the fax is for on the cover sheet. That routing detail is what lets the clerk reconnect the documents if they separate. Reference the case number the document belongs to.
Not for a lawsuit or a motion in most courts. Some courts permit a limited fax filing under a specific rule, but many do not — the clerk is the authority. Ask the division directly so you do not send to a line that no longer takes filings.
