How to Fax Notarized Documents — Easy Step-by-Step Guide
A notarized document carries the notary's signature, seal, and commission expiration date, and the receiving office expects all three to be readable on the copy that arrives. County recorders, title companies, and out-of-state probate clerks still take notarized affidavits and acknowledgments by fax, and they want the submission logged. Send FAX Mail lets you send a notarized signature page from your phone or laptop and keeps a timestamped confirmation you can attach to your file, so if the clerk asks when you sent it, you have an answer.

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.
