SEC Fax Number — Fax Filings and Complaints to the SEC

The Securities and Exchange Commission accepts faxed whistleblower tips, investor complaints, FOIA requests, and comment letters on proposed rules. The Office of Investor Education fax is 202-772-9295, while individual divisions list their own numbers on SEC.gov, so a comment letter on a proposed rule may go to a different line than an investor complaint.

What You Can Fax to SEC

  • Whistleblower tips and complaints (TCR)
  • Investor complaints
  • FOIA requests
  • Comment letters on proposed rules
  • Exemption requests
Tip: For whistleblower submissions, the SEC's online TCR portal offers protections and tracking that fax does not, so weigh that route before faxing a tip. On any complaint, include your contact information and specific details about the suspected violation, such as dates, names, and the conduct involved. Comment letters should reference the rule proposal by its file number so the relevant division can log it correctly.
