How to Fax a Signed Contract Online

1. Check the recipient’s instructions. Confirm that it accepts a faxed copy, which pages it wants and which number handles the agreement.
2. Gather the final signed agreement, the signature pages and any requested schedules or exhibits.
3. Upload the files to Fax and put them in the agreed order. Add a cover sheet if the recipient needs an agreement or project reference.
4. Review every page of the combined PDF, especially dates, initials, signature blocks and the first page of each exhibit.
5. Send when the packet is complete. Keep the exact PDF and fax result, then request a countersigned copy or acknowledgment if required.

Compare the agreement’s title, date and revision to the final version you received. If the other party accepts only a signature page, match its title and page number to that version. If it asks for the entire agreement, include every required page and attachment, including any separate signature page.

For example, a signed services agreement might refer to an attached statement of work and fee schedule. Confirm that each exhibit matches the version both sides agreed to, then assemble the packet in the requested order. Keep the original signed files in your own records.

Check the preview at a readable zoom. A light pen stroke, cropped margin or blank annotation can make a signed page hard to review. If you scanned a paper contract, check that the full signature and date are visible and every page is upright.

Ask what the recipient needs if the agreement was electronically signed. A fax shows the visible pages of the agreement. The recipient may also want the original signed PDF or the signing platform’s completion record through a separate channel. Keep those files with your agreement.

• Check PDF and scan settings before faxing

Record the fax reference alongside the signed version. When someone asks which exhibits you sent, you can open the exact PDF and check. If the fax fails, verify the number and the latest result before starting a retry.

If the agreement sets a deadline or asks for a countersigned copy, follow the agreed process. A delivered result reports transmission to the receiving endpoint. Ask the recipient to confirm receipt or return its signed copy when the next step requires it.
