Question 1

Do Alaska state agencies accept faxes sent this way?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Offices such as the Alaska Office of the Governor and the Alaska Department of Administration take fax for permit applications, records requests, and interagency correspondence, and some still require it. Send FAX Mail delivers the confirmation those AK submissions need, leaving the receiving office a dated record.

Question 2

What about Alaska Public Records Act retention?

Accepted Answer

Faxed documents and their transmission logs can both be subject to the Alaska Public Records Act and have to be kept on the state's records schedule. Send FAX Mail stores complete, searchable logs of every send and receipt, so responding to a request or an audit doesn't mean digging through paper. The Alaska Department of Administration's retention expectations are easier to meet as a result.

Question 3

Can a borough office and a state department share one account?

Accepted Answer

A single account supports multiple fax numbers, which fits situations where related offices, down to the AK Secretary of State function, handle filings across several areas. Each number keeps its own searchable history. Adding the numbers costs nothing.

Question 4

How much do Alaska offices save by dropping machines?

Accepted Answer

Plans begin at $12.99/mo, against the recurring expense of analog lines and hardware in scattered AK offices. Each tier carries its own monthly page allowance, and an office that handles heavier filing volume simply moves up a plan instead of tracking per-page costs. The administrative saving is just as real, since the audit trail the Alaska Department of Administration expects is produced automatically.
