Fax the U.S. House of Representatives

Congressional inboxes bury individual messages — a fax arrives as paper on the office machine, gets picked up by a staffer, and is logged as official correspondence. Find your representative below, click Send fax, and we'll prefill the fax number and a cover page addressed to them — you just attach your document. Also see the Senate fax directory and, for state issues, the governor fax directory.

Why fax your representative instead of emailing?

Same-day arrival

Physical mail to Capitol Hill sits in security screening for weeks. A fax lands on the office fax machine the same day you send it.

It stands out

Contact-form emails are high-volume and mostly earn form replies. A short fax in your own words reads as personal correspondence — and offices give personal messages more weight.

It's on the record

Offices log incoming faxes and tally positions on issues, and you get a timestamped delivery confirmation — handy if you follow up or escalate later.

Pick your representative below, attach your letter, and hit send. $0.50 per page, no account, delivery confirmation included. Jump to the directory ↓

How to fax your representative

  1. Find your representative. Search the directory above by name, state, or district (e.g. “TX-32”). Not sure of your district? Look it up at house.gov, then search here by district number.
  2. Open the prefilled form. Click Send fax — the office fax number and a cover page addressed to “The Honorable …” are filled in for you.
  3. Attach your letter. One page is plenty: one issue, a specific bill number if you have one, what you want your representative to do, and your name and mailing address.
  4. Send and keep the confirmation. $0.50 per page, no account — the timestamped delivery confirmation is your proof of when you sent it.

Do faxes to Congress actually work?

Yes — with realistic expectations. Congressional offices count every incoming message — letters, calls, emails, and faxes — and tally positions by topic, so your fax adds one to the count for your side. What a fax changes is visibility: it shows up as paper on the office machine the same day, in your own words, instead of one more email in a filtered inbox, and it leaves you a timestamped record of exactly when you made your position known. Personalized faxes — one page, one issue, your constituent address — carry the most weight, which is why advocacy groups still build entire campaigns around them.

Frequently asked questions

Do representatives have fax numbers?

Most House offices publish a fax line — the Washington, D.C. office where available, otherwise a public district-office line. 218 representatives in this directory had active fax numbers as of September 2026; the rest are marked “not accepting faxes”.

Is a fax better than email or a phone call?

All three get logged, but they behave differently. Emails and contact-form messages arrive in high volume and usually earn a form reply. A call reaches a staffer live but leaves no written record of your words. A fax arrives the same day as a physical page that a staffer has to pick up, and it gives you a timestamped record — which is why advocacy campaigns still run on faxes.

Does faxing Congress actually work?

Yes. Offices count and tally every incoming message by topic, so your fax adds to the count for your side — and unlike a form email, it arrives the same day as paper a staffer physically handles, with a timestamped confirmation for you. Personalized, one-issue faxes carry the most weight.

How much does it cost to fax my representative?

$0.50 per page with PerPageFax, charged at checkout — no account or subscription. Most letters to Congress fit on a single page.

What should I put in my fax?

One issue, one page. Reference a specific bill number if you can, say what you want your representative to do, and include your full name and mailing address so the office counts you as a constituent. See our fax cover letter examples for ready-made templates.

My representative isn’t accepting faxes — now what?

Some House offices switch their fax lines off periodically. Call the Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and ask for the office, use the contact form on your representative’s house.gov site, or fax one of your state’s senators instead.

Fax numbers listed are each representative's published House office line — the Washington, D.C. office where available, otherwise a public district-office line — collected September 2026 and cross-checked against house.gov. Where the member's own house.gov site publishes the number, their page here links to it.
