How to Fax Discovery Requests — Timestamped Delivery for Legal Documentation
Discovery requests run on deadlines, and the date a request reaches opposing counsel sets the clock on their time to respond or object. A timestamped fax confirmation records when the recipient's line accepted the interrogatories, document requests, or admissions, giving you a dated entry for the client file and docket if the response period is ever disputed. Send FAX Mail carries the formatted PDF with the case caption on every page behind a privileged-transmission cover sheet, and retries a busy line on its own so a near-deadline service doesn't slip through unnoticed.

Document Format
Legal documents must comply with jurisdiction-specific formatting requirements including margin widths, font size, line spacing, and caption formatting. Include case number, court name, and all parties on every page for court filings. Use clear, high-contrast PDF formatting. Place signature pages last for easy identification.
Legal Considerations
Faxed legal documents are legally accepted in most jurisdictions, but verify local court rules for each filing. Fax transmission time may determine whether a filing is timely. Some jurisdictions require original signatures for certain documents — fax copies may not suffice for all purposes. Retain fax confirmation records in the client file.
