Census Bureau Fax Number — Fax Census Forms and Data Requests
The U.S. Census Bureau accepts faxed business survey responses, economic census forms, and data product requests at its headquarters line, 301-763-8045. Individual survey divisions sometimes publish their own fax numbers on Census.gov, so check the instructions printed on your specific form before sending. The decennial census itself is meant to be completed online or by mail, not faxed.

What You Can Fax to Census Bureau
- Business survey responses
- Economic census forms
- Data product requests
- FOIA requests
- Geographic partnership documents
Tip: Write your form number and response ID on the cover page so the Bureau can match your fax to the correct survey record. Economic and business surveys carry firm deadlines, so fax ahead of the due date rather than on it. For FOIA requests or geographic partnership documents, state plainly what data, time period, and geographic area you need so staff can act without follow-up.
