Department of Education Fax Number — Student Loan and Financial Aid
The US Department of Education accepts faxed student loan paperwork, financial aid appeals, and FERPA consent forms at its main line, 202-401-0689, but much of the day-to-day loan servicing happens at the servicer level instead. Income-Driven Repayment applications, forbearance requests, and Public Service Loan Forgiveness certifications usually go to your servicer, not to the Department directly. Knowing which entity actually processes your document saves a wasted transmission and a delay on something like a repayment plan change.

Tip: Before you send, confirm whether your document belongs at the Department's main fax or with your loan servicer, because the two handle different paperwork. For a PSLF Employment Certification Form, that almost always means MOHELA rather than the Department itself, so check the servicer's current fax number on their site. Send through Send FAX Mail when a repayment or forgiveness deadline is involved so you have a delivery confirmation on record.
