Online fax services
Online fax services send a PDF to a fax number over the internet. Some charge per page, others by subscription, and some offer a few free pages. Compare privacy terms before sending medical or financial documents, because the service handles your file.
Why sign here first
The fax service only needs the finished PDF. Signing here happens on your own device, so the unsigned document and your signature aren't uploaded to yet another website.
When faxing is really required
Some offices must receive certain forms by fax or post. If so, the online route works; if they accept email or their own portal, that's usually quicker and gives you a better record.
