FCC Fax Number — Fax Complaints and Filings to the FCC
The Federal Communications Commission accepts faxed consumer complaints, broadcast license materials, FOIA requests, and comments on rulemaking proceedings, with a general fax line at 866-418-0232. The FCC steers most filings toward its online systems (consumer complaints through consumercomplaints.fcc.gov and licensing through the Universal Licensing System), but fax remains an option when those tools don't fit your situation. Individual bureaus sometimes publish their own fax numbers on FCC.gov, so a filing aimed at a specific bureau may go somewhere other than the general line.

Tip: If you have an FCC Registration Number (FRN), include it so the agency can tie your filing to your records. For a consumer complaint, lay out the company name, the relevant dates, and a plain description of what happened so the staff can act without chasing details. Because the general fax at 866-418-0232 isn't the right destination for every submission, check FCC.gov for the bureau handling your matter before you send.
