How to Send a Fax to United Kingdom
The NHS and legal profession in the UK still rely on fax for secure document transfer, though the government has been pushing to phase out fax in public services since 2020. Despite the NHS phase-out announcements, many GP surgeries, specialist clinics, and pharmacies continue to use fax for patient referrals and test result transmission. Solicitors' firms and the courts service also maintain fax lines for certain legal filings and time-sensitive correspondence.
Dialing Instructions
International format: +44 followed by the area code (drop the leading 0) and the local number. London area code is 20 (dial +44-20-XXXX-XXXX), Birmingham is 121 (+44-121-XXX-XXXX), and Manchester is 161 (+44-161-XXX-XXXX).
Delivery & Timing
Typically 1-2 minutes per page when sending to the UK from North America. Within Europe, fax transmission to UK numbers is generally under 1 minute per page.
Legal & Regulatory Information
The Electronic Communications Act 2000 underpins the legal recognition of electronic signatures and transmissions in the UK, including faxed documents. Under this framework, a faxed document bearing a signature carries the same legal weight as its paper equivalent for most contractual and administrative purposes.
