How it works

  1. Step 1

    Fill in the fields

    Your details, the recipient's and what you are asking for. Optional fields left empty are simply left out.

  2. Step 2

    Check the preview

    The preview is the actual PDF: US Letter, one-inch margins, black text that stays sharp on a fax machine.

  3. Step 3

    Fax or download

    Fax this letter opens the send page with the PDF attached and the fax number filled in if you entered a US one.

To put a cover sheet in front of your letter, make one with the fax cover sheet maker and attach the letter there. To find where to send it, see the government fax number directory.

Questions

Are these templates free?

Yes. Filling them in and downloading the PDF is free, with no account and no watermark. Sending the letter through FaxUp is paid, per fax.

Is what I type uploaded?

No. The letter is written into a PDF by your browser on your device. Nothing is sent to FaxUp unless you choose to fax it, and then only the finished PDF goes to the send page. Our analytics count which template was used, never what you typed.

Can I edit the wording?

The fields fill a fixed, neutral wording that works for most cases. If you need different wording, use the general business letter and write your own text, or download the PDF and edit it in another program.

Why would I fax a letter instead of emailing it?

Many medical offices, insurers, government agencies and law firms still take requests by fax, and some don't accept email for them at all. A fax also gives you a dated transmission report, which is useful proof that you sent it.

Are these legally binding?

A letter like these is a written request or notice; whether it is enough depends on the organization and on the law where you are. They are not legal advice. When something important depends on it, ask the recipient what they need or talk to a qualified professional.
