How do I fax documents to the unemployment office or Jobcentre?
Yes, even without a fax machine: photograph the documents in the Claude app and give the fax number from your letter, and mcpfax sends them. One page costs €1.00, each additional page €0.20, and you get a transmission report as a PDF.

Which fax number is the right one?
The one in your latest letter or decision from the office handling your claim. mcpfax does not look up numbers on the internet.

The transmission report proves the transmission to the office's fax machine, not that the documents were processed.
Can the office fax me back?
No, mcpfax cannot receive faxes. Replies come by post or through the usual channels.
