Secure Online Fax for Florida Law Firms & Courts
Florida attorneys still send fax for service under Rule 2.516, for documents that fall outside the Florida Courts E-Filing Portal, and for correspondence with self-represented parties who lack portal access.
Regulations & Compliance
Service and filing by fax in Florida are governed by Rule 2.516 of the Florida Rules of Judicial Administration, which sets the format and confirmation requirements for documents served this way. The Rules Regulating The Florida Bar hold attorneys to confidentiality and recordkeeping standards on every client transmission, and trial courts may layer on local administrative orders covering page formatting and cover-sheet content. A timestamped transmission record covers you on all three fronts.

The portal handles most attorney filings, but Rule 2.516 still recognizes fax for service of documents in specific circumstances, and self-represented parties who aren't registered for the portal are often reached by fax.

That record meets the documentation expectations of The Florida Bar and is the kind of evidence a court looks for when an opposing party challenges whether service under Rule 2.516 actually occurred.

Plans begin at $12.99 a month, each with a monthly page allowance and no per-page charges. Solo practitioners usually stay within the base plan, while litigation firms with high volume move up to plans that add users and extra Florida numbers when a heavy filing stretch outgrows their allowance.
No. Send FAX Mail sends and receives through email and the dashboard, so you can file from a deposition, a courthouse hallway, or home without a dedicated machine or analog line. The documents arrive as PDFs you can save straight into the matter file.
