Question 1

Do Maine state and municipal offices still take faxed submissions?

Accepted Answer

They do. Agencies under the Maine Department of Administration and offices like the ME Secretary of State accept fax for permit paperwork, FOAA records requests, and routine interagency correspondence. Send FAX Mail returns a timestamped confirmation for every page sent, which is what most ME offices want on file.

Question 2

How long does a fax log need to stay around for a Maine agency?

Accepted Answer

Retention depends on the record series in your office's schedule from the Maine Department of Administration, not on the fact that it arrived by fax. Send FAX Mail keeps the full transmission history searchable, so when an FOAA request lands you can locate what was sent and when without digging through a paper file.

Question 3

What does Send FAX Mail cost a Maine government office?

Accepted Answer

Plans start at $12.99 a month, and choosing your fax number costs nothing extra. A 7-day free trial lets a clerk's office send before committing. If a department runs past its plan's monthly page allowance, it moves up to a higher tier rather than paying per page. For a county or town office that would otherwise pay for a dedicated analog line and machine maintenance, the monthly number usually comes out well below the old setup.

Question 4

Can several people in one Maine department share a fax line?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A single account can route incoming faxes to multiple staff inboxes, which suits a clerk's office or a procurement team where more than one person handles records. Everyone works from email instead of crowding around the machine by the copier.
