Take the fax number from the agency's letter, attach your document in a chat with Claude or email it to faxnumber@fax.mcpfax.de. One page costs €1.00; some agencies, however, require a different channel for certain matters.

Video transcript
Yes, you can send a fax to city hall, a government agency or your tax office, like the IRS or HMRC, without a fax machine, straight from the chat or by email. Let me show you how. You'll find the fax number in the letterhead of a recent letter or on the agency's official website. mcpfax and Claude don't look up numbers on the internet. If you filled out the application on paper, photograph it in the Claude app on your phone. Good lighting, and the whole page in the frame. Add which office the fax is for and which number it should go to. Claude shows the recipient, the pages and the price. One page costs one euro. After your yes, the fax goes out. You receive the transmission report with date, time and result by email. Keep it with your records, because it proves the transmission. To be honest: not every agency accepts every matter by fax. Some require an online portal or the original, so if in doubt, ask. And mcpfax can't receive replies. You'll find the link in the description. Subscribe to the channel if you'd like to learn more about faxing government offices and insurers.
