How to Send a Fax to Brazil
Brazil's cartorios (notary offices), courts, and banking sector frequently use fax for document authentication and legal proceedings. The Receita Federal (tax authority) has historically accepted faxed declarations, and many state tax secretariats still process faxed correspondence. Brazil's extensive court system generates large volumes of faxed legal documents, with attorneys regularly transmitting petitions and motions via fax to meet tight filing deadlines.
Dialing Instructions
International format: +55 followed by the 2-digit area code and the 8 or 9-digit local number. Sao Paulo area code is 11 (dial +55-11-XXXX-XXXX), Rio de Janeiro is 21 (+55-21-XXXX-XXXX), and Brasilia is 61 (+55-61-XXXX-XXXX).
Delivery & Timing
Typically 2-3 minutes per page when sending to Brazil from North America. Transmission to Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro is generally reliable, though quality may vary for more remote regions.
Legal & Regulatory Information
Brazil's Medida Provisoria 2.200-2 established the ICP-Brasil (Electronic Certification Infrastructure), which provides the legal framework for digital certificates and electronic signatures in Brazil. Within this framework, faxed documents bearing handwritten signatures retain legal standing for most commercial and administrative transactions not requiring a certified digital signature.
