No, faxed signatures cannot be notarized or considered as valid and/or "legal" unless they can be witnessed in person. How do you REALLY know the person on the other end of the fax (or e-mail) is REALLY who they say they are?

What is a faxed document?

a fax document is a document that has been sent over a fax machine.


Is facsimile document legally binding?

Your question lacks detail so the following is general information.It depends on the document and where it needs to be legally binding. Faxed documents are becoming more and more common and if they need to be used in court a faxed signature may be vulnerable depending on the issues. An original signature is always preferable. Some land records offices will not accept a faxed document for recording unless it is an exhibit to an originally signed document.Regarding legal documents in general there is no general rule. Good business dictates that if faxed documents are to be relied upon and the intent is for parties to be bound by those documents a separate statement to that effect should be made part of the package and clearly expresses in the documents.


Can a notary public certify a document?

It all depends on what you will be using it for. A facsimile is not accepted for recording in most land records offices. Some judges will not accept a faxed copy of a document, such as a promissory note or check with a notation on the memo line. Many contracts are faxed but the parties should agree ahead of time and the faxed copies that go back and forth should contain a clause that they will be binding although faxed.


You bought a house FM a mother that had power of attorney FM her daughter who was deported to Mexico july1-05 but signed the power of attorney on july22-05 through fax is this legal?

It doesn't sound really good to me. Powers of Attorney are legal documents that must be prepared (and usually witnessed) according to the laws of the jurisdiction they're supposed to take effect in. How do you know that the faxed document contains the genuine signature of the daughter? I would demand to see the original document and then check with an attorney to see if it met the legal requirements of wherever you are.

Is a fax considered a legal document when used in real estate?

Generally that is up to the parties and it depends on what documents you are referring to. For example, if the parties agree to fax a signed purchase and sale agreement and expressed no concern at the time, it would be enforceable in court. A faxed deed would not be considered a legal document and would not be accepted for recording purposes in most jurisdictions.Generally that is up to the parties and it depends on what documents you are referring to.

Can you use a notarized agreement as evidence in court if it was faxed to you by the other party?

No. It is unlikely the court will allow a faxed copy into evidence. Courts need to view the original so it can be confirmed the document wasn't altered before being copied. One of the first things visible in an altered document is a difference in the pen that was used. That difference doesn't come through in a facsimile or copy.The result may be different if you can prove the parties agreed to honor facsimiles at the time the agreement was executed.No. It is unlikely the court will allow a faxed copy into evidence.

How should you insert the pages you want to be faxed?

To insert the pages you want to be faxed, simply stack them in the correct order inside the fax machine's document feeder or on the scanner bed. Ensure the pages are aligned properly to avoid any scanning or faxing errors. Proceed by following the fax machine's instructions to enter the recipient's fax number and send the document.
