How to Fax Name Change Forms — Easy Step-by-Step Guide
After a marriage, divorce, or court-ordered name change, people often need to send name change forms to government offices, the Social Security Administration, the DMV, banks, or employers, and many of those offices still accept fax for these submissions. The forms carry dates of birth, prior and new legal names, and frequently Social Security numbers, so they have to arrive legible and at the right office. Send FAX Mail lets you fax the completed form from any device and keeps a dated delivery confirmation as proof you submitted it.

Document Format
Ensure all text is legible in black and white — fax transmits in grayscale. Signatures must be clearly visible. Include your name and contact information on the cover sheet. For multi-page documents, number each page and include identifying information in the header.
Legal Considerations
Many personal documents contain sensitive personally identifiable information including dates of birth, Social Security numbers, and addresses. Verify the recipient's fax number carefully before transmitting to prevent misdirected PHI or PII. Some official documents may require original signatures or certified copies — faxed copies may not be accepted in all circumstances.
