Online Fax for Pennsylvania Government Agencies

Pennsylvania Commonwealth agencies such as the Department of Revenue, PennDOT, and the State Police still fax documents for tax administration, licensing, and communication between departments. Those transmissions become government records, which puts them under the Commonwealth's retention rules and the Right-to-Know Law.

Regulations & Compliance

Government fax use in Pennsylvania is shaped by the Right-to-Know Law (65 P.S. § 67.101 et seq.) and the Commonwealth's records retention schedules. The Pennsylvania State Archives and Records Administration, part of the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission, sets the records management standards agencies follow. A fax an agency sends or receives can be a public record subject to disclosure and to a defined retention period, so searchable logs make compliance and records responses much easier.
