Online Fax for Maine Government Agencies
From Augusta to county seats and small town offices, Maine government work still moves on fax: bid responses, FOAA records requests, regulatory filings, and memos passed between departments. Offices that report to the Maine Department of Administration need a transmission record they can pull up later, and the Maine Office of the Governor and the ME Secretary of State route official correspondence the same way.
Regulations & Compliance
Faxed records held by Maine agencies fall under the state's Freedom of Access Act and the records retention schedules the Maine Department of Administration maintains, which means a fax confirmation may itself become a discoverable record. The Maine General Assembly and the ME Secretary of State both set their own filing formats, and a request submitted under FOAA can reach any of these documents. Keeping a searchable transmission log makes responding to those requests far less painful.

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.
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.
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.
