Question 1

Will Oregon agencies accept a faxed submission?

Accepted Answer

Many do, and some still prefer it for permit applications, records requests, and interdepartmental routing. A fax gives the receiving office a dated confirmation that a document arrived, which matters when a filing deadline is involved. Send FAX Mail produces that confirmation automatically.

Question 2

How does fax fit Oregon's public records rules?

Accepted Answer

Under the Oregon Public Records Law, a fax an agency sends or receives can be a record subject to disclosure and to the retention period in its schedule. Send FAX Mail keeps complete logs and stored copies, so staff can find and produce a document instead of digging through paper files. That helps offices meet the standards the Secretary of State's records program enforces.

Question 3

Is this cheaper than the fax lines we run now?

Accepted Answer

Usually, yes. Plans start at $12.99 per month and replace the cost of dedicated phone lines and machine maintenance across multiple offices. Choosing your numbers is free, and an office can try sending on a 7-day free trial first. If an office regularly exceeds its plan's page allowance, the fix is moving up a plan rather than absorbing any per-page charge.

Question 4

Can different departments each have their own number?

Accepted Answer

They can. You can assign separate Oregon fax numbers to different departments at no per-number charge, which keeps incoming documents routed to the right inbox. Each department's history stays searchable on its own number.
