Send Fax Online
with free fax cover sheets.

A fax cover sheet is a document that is attached to a fax transmission to provide information such as the sender's and recipient's names, the date, and a brief message. This is a pre-first page document attached along with your fax.

There are many reasons to use a fax cover sheet. Perhaps the most important is that it protects both the sender and the receiver. A cover sheet provides an easy way to indicate who the fax is from and who it is being sent to, helping recipients quickly determine if they need to act. It also helps ensure the document being faxed is legible and does not contain confidential information.

Simply pick any blank fax cover sheet template from our template section, download the one you like, and start editing. If you'd rather create it yourself without our templates (which are free to use), you can create your own fax cover sheet — just remember the constituents of a fax cover page from our tutorial.

When faxing a document, include a fax cover sheet with information about what's being sent. Tips on what to include:

• Your name and contact information as the sender.
• The recipient's name and contact information.
• The date.
• The type of document being faxed (e.g., letter, resume, contract).
• A brief description of the document.

Faxing is a convenient way to send documents quickly. But without a cover sheet, the document may not be received properly — it might not be delivered, or could reach the wrong person. A fax cover sheet also protects your privacy by ensuring the recipient's name and contact information is included.

Fax cover sheets come in all shapes and sizes, but all share the same basic function: to provide information about the fax transmission. There are many types, each with its own purpose. We've included every type in our templates section for different use cases. Explore our Fax Cover Sheet Templates section.
