Algeria Fax Number Format

Algeria's country code is +213. Inside the country, numbers are written with a leading zero before the area code, so Algiers reads as 021 or 023. That zero is the domestic trunk prefix and it drops when you dial from abroad. Enter only what follows it.

Landlines are eight digits after the country code: a two-digit area code plus six digits. Mobiles are nine digits and start with 5, 6 or 7 once the zero is gone. Fax machines are nearly always on landlines, so a fax number will be eight digits. If you count nine and the first is a 0, that is the zero to drop.

Example: an Algiers fax written locally as 021 73 45 67 is entered here as 21734567. Select Algeria, type those eight digits, done.

City Codes

After dropping the zero: Algiers is 21 or 23 depending on the exchange, and both are correct for the capital. Oran is 41. Constantine is 31. Annaba is 38. Setif is 36, Batna is 33, Tlemcen is 43 and Bejaia is 34. The code is always printed as part of the number on Algerian letterhead, so you rarely need to look one up; just drop the zero and enter the rest.

Who Still Uses Fax in Algeria

Ministries and wilaya (provincial) offices, the civil registry, banks, Sonatrach and the oil and gas contractors around it, customs, notaries, universities and hospitals. Algerian administration runs on stamped, signed paper, and fax is the accepted way to get a signed page into an office quickly. Banks take signed instructions by fax, notaries take powers of attorney ahead of the originals, and universities take transcript and enrollment requests from graduates abroad.

From the United States and Canada the usual senders are Algerians abroad dealing with property, inheritance, civil records and military-service paperwork back home, and companies working with Algerian energy and construction contacts. Documents are in French or Arabic. Send a PDF rather than a phone photo so Arabic script and accents stay legible at fax resolution.

Time Zone and Timing

Algeria is UTC+1 all year, with no daylight saving. That is 5 hours ahead of US Eastern in summer and 6 hours ahead in winter. The Algerian working week runs Sunday to Thursday, roughly 8am to 4:30pm, and offices are closed Friday and Saturday. From the US East Coast the reliable window is early morning, about 3am to 11am Eastern, Sunday to Thursday. A fax sent on a Friday afternoon US time will not be seen until Sunday morning in Algiers.

What It Costs

Algeria sits in our fourth pricing tier: $6.99 for up to 3 pages, with extra pages at $0.99. North African lines cost more to reach than Europe, and the price reflects that. You see it before you pay, there is no account and nothing renews. If the fax cannot be delivered the full amount goes back to your card automatically.

Why Faxes to Algeria Fail

Three causes cover almost every failure. The leading zero left in. If your number is nine digits starting with 0, drop the 0. The weekend. Friday and Saturday are the Algerian weekend, and a machine that is switched off on Thursday evening will not answer until Sunday. A shared voice line. Many offices run the fax on the same line as the phone, so a call in progress means a busy signal. In every case you are refunded and can try again later at no extra cost.

Nothing is printed on your document. It arrives exactly as you uploaded it.

If it cannot be delivered, the money goes back to your card without you asking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Cost and what you get
How much does it cost to fax Algeria?
$6.99 for up to 3 pages, with extra pages at $0.99. Algeria is in our fourth tier because North African lines cost more to reach than Europe. No account, no subscription, and you see the price before you pay.
Is there a catch at $6.99 for Algeria?
No catch and no upsell. Three pages, no account, no card kept on file, nothing that renews. If the fax cannot be delivered the money goes back to your card automatically.
Can I fax Algeria for free?
Free fax services almost never reach Algerian numbers. Most limit you to US and Canada destinations, cap you at three pages, and several print their own advertising across your cover page. For a document going to a notary or a wilaya office that is not acceptable.
Sending a fax
Do I need an account to fax Algeria?
No. Select Algeria, type the number without the zero, upload your document and pay. There is no sign-up and no password. The only thing we ask for is an email address so the confirmation has somewhere to go.
What happens if my fax to Algeria does not arrive?
You are refunded automatically and you get an email explaining what happened. You do not need to ask. Then check the number and try again on a working day, Sunday to Thursday in Algeria.
Can I send a document in Arabic or French?
Yes. The fax transmits whatever is on the page, in any language and any script. Send it as a PDF rather than a photograph so Arabic letters and French accents stay sharp.
Fax numbers and format
What is the country code for faxing Algeria?
+213. Select Algeria from the list and the code is added for you. Then type the local number without its leading zero.
Do I drop the leading zero when faxing Algeria?
Yes. Algerian numbers are written with a 0 before the area code domestically, so Algiers reads as 021. That zero drops when dialing from abroad. Enter the eight digits that follow it.
How many digits is an Algeria fax number?
Eight after the country code for a landline: a two-digit area code plus six digits. Mobiles are nine digits starting with 5, 6 or 7. Fax machines sit on landlines, so expect eight.
What is the area code for Algiers?
21 or 23 when dialing from abroad, written 021 or 023 inside Algeria. Both serve the capital. An Algiers fax written 021 73 45 67 is entered as 21734567.
What are the area codes for Oran, Constantine and Annaba?
Oran is 41, Constantine is 31 and Annaba is 38, each after dropping the zero. They are printed as part of the number on local letterhead.
Receiving a reply
Can I receive a fax back from Algeria?
Not through OverseasFax, which only sends. If you are expecting a reply you need a number of your own, and our sister service GetAFax.com provides a US fax number for 24 hours for $5, with anything received sent to your email. Give that number to the office in Algeria.
Delivery, proof and safety
What time should I fax Algeria?
During the Algerian working day, about 8am to 4:30pm Sunday to Thursday. Algeria is UTC+1 all year, so from US Eastern that means sending between about 3am and 11am in summer, an hour later in winter. Friday and Saturday are the weekend.
Why did my fax to Algeria fail?
Usually one of three things. The leading zero was left in, making the number nine digits instead of eight. It was the Algerian weekend and the machine was off. Or the fax shares a line with the office phone and someone was on a call. You are refunded automatically either way.
Is my document stored after I fax Algeria?
No. It is deleted from the servers once the fax has gone. There is no account and no archive. You keep your own copy and the confirmation email.
Do I get proof the fax reached Algeria?
Yes. The confirmation email records the destination number, the page count and the exact time the receiving machine accepted the fax, in US Eastern Time. Keep it as your record.
More questions
Can I fax Algeria from outside the United States?
Yes. The service runs in a browser, so your location does not matter, and international payment cards work normally. Algerians in France and Canada use it the same way as senders in the US.
Who still uses fax in Algeria?
Ministries, wilaya offices, the civil registry, banks, energy companies and their contractors, customs, notaries, universities and hospitals. Stamped and signed paper is how Algerian administration works, and fax is how it travels.
Can I fax a bank in Algeria?
Yes, and many still expect it for signed instructions and account changes. Put the account number and the account holder's name on every page so it can be matched if the pages separate.
Can I fax a notary or a wilaya office in Algeria?
Yes. Powers of attorney, property paperwork and civil-status requests are routinely faxed ahead of the originals. Take the current number from the office's own site or a recent letter, since numbers change, and send a PDF so stamps and signatures stay legible.
