Nepal Fax Number Format

Nepal's country code is +977. Inside the country, numbers are written with a leading zero before the area code, so Kathmandu reads as 01. 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 one or two digit area code plus the subscriber number. Kathmandu has the shortest code in the country, a single 1, followed by seven digits. Mobile numbers are ten digits and start with 97 or 98. Fax machines sit on landlines, so you will almost always be entering an eight-digit number.

Example: a Kathmandu fax written locally as 01 4231234 is entered here as 14231234. Select Nepal, type those eight digits, done.

City Codes

After dropping the zero: Kathmandu, Lalitpur and Bhaktapur share 1. Pokhara is 61. Biratnagar is 21. Birgunj is 51. Butwal and Bhairahawa are 71. Nepalgunj is 81. Dharan is 25. Janakpur is 41. Outside Kathmandu the area code is two digits and the subscriber number six, still eight in total.

Who Still Uses Fax in Nepal

Government ministries, the Department of Immigration, banks, hospitals and universities. Nepali banks in particular still accept signed instructions and KYC documents by fax, and the Department of Immigration takes supporting documents for visa and work permit matters that way. Universities faxing transcripts and recommendation letters is routine. Nepal Telecom remains the dominant landline carrier, which is why most fax numbers you will see start with the Kathmandu 1 or a two-digit regional code.

Time Zone and Timing

Nepal is UTC+5:45, one of the few places on a quarter-hour offset, and it does not change clocks. That is 10 hours 45 minutes ahead of US Eastern in summer and 10 hours 45 minutes in winter too, since Nepal does not shift. Kathmandu's working day runs about 10am to 5pm Sunday to Friday; Saturday is the weekend. From the US East Coast, sending between 11pm and 6am lands inside their office hours. Fax machines receive around the clock, and your confirmation records the exact time in US Eastern Time.

What It Costs

Nepal sits in our fourth pricing tier: $6.99 for up to 3 pages, with extra pages at $0.99. It costs more than Europe because the lines cost more to reach. You see the price before you pay, there is no account and nothing renews, and if the fax cannot be delivered the money goes back to your card automatically.

Why Faxes to Nepal Fail

Three causes cover almost every failure. The leading zero left in. If your number is nine digits starting with 0, drop the 0. Power. Load shedding has eased but has not vanished, and an office without power has a fax machine that does not answer. Retry in the morning, their time. Old numbers. Nepal has renumbered more than once; take the number from the organisation's current site, not from a directory.

Why send it here

One price for the whole fax, shown before you pay, and nothing added at checkout.

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.

It works from anywhere. Send from any country, in any browser, with no account.

Frequently Asked Questions

Cost and what you get
How much does it cost to fax Nepal?
$6.99 for up to 3 pages, with extra pages at $0.99. Nepal is in our fourth tier because the lines cost more to reach than Europe or North America. No account and no subscription.
Is there a catch at $6.99 for Nepal?
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 Nepal for free?
Free fax services almost never reach Nepali 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 Nepali bank or ministry, a paid per-fax service is the only route that works.
Sending a fax
Do I need an account to fax Nepal?
No. Select Nepal, 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 for your confirmation.
What happens if my fax to Nepal does not arrive?
You are refunded automatically and you get an email explaining what happened. You do not need to ask. Power interruptions make Nepali lines less reliable than most, so retrying costs nothing.
Can I send a document in Nepali or Devanagari script?
Yes. The fax transmits whatever is on the page. Send it as a PDF rather than a photograph so the script stays sharp, since fax transmits in pure black and white.
Fax numbers and format
What is the country code for faxing Nepal?
+977. Select Nepal 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 Nepal?
Yes. Nepali numbers are written with a 0 before the area code domestically, so Kathmandu reads as 01. That zero drops when dialling from abroad. Enter only what follows it.
How many digits is a Nepal fax number?
Eight after the country code for a landline: the area code plus the subscriber number. Kathmandu is 1 plus seven digits. Other cities are a two-digit code plus six digits. Mobiles are ten digits starting 97 or 98, but fax machines sit on landlines.
What is the area code for Kathmandu?
1 when dialling from abroad, written 01 inside Nepal. Lalitpur and Bhaktapur share it. A Kathmandu fax written 01 4231234 is entered as 14231234.
Receiving a reply
Can I receive a fax back from Nepal?
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 arriving in your email as a PDF.
Delivery, proof and safety
What time should I fax Nepal?
During Kathmandu’s working day, about 10am to 5pm Sunday to Friday. Nepal is UTC+5:45 and does not change clocks. From US Eastern that means sending between about 11pm and 6am. Saturday is the weekend.
Why does Nepal have a quarter-hour time zone?
It sits on the meridian that runs through Mount Everest, which falls on the quarter hour, and the country kept it when it set its clock in 1986. The practical effect is that Nepal is always 15 minutes ahead of India.
Why did my fax to Nepal fail?
Usually one of three things. The leading zero was left in, making the number nine digits instead of eight. The office had no power, so the machine did not answer. Or the number is out of date, since Nepal has renumbered. Check the digit count first, then retry in Kathmandu’s morning.
Is my document stored after I fax Nepal?
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 Nepal?
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 of sending.
More questions
Can I fax Nepal from outside the United States?
Yes. The service runs in a browser, so your location does not matter, and international payment cards work normally. Nepalis abroad in the Gulf, Malaysia and Australia send home this way. The price is set by the destination, not where you are.
Who still uses fax in Nepal?
Government ministries, the Department of Immigration, banks, hospitals and universities. Banks take signed instructions and KYC documents by fax, immigration takes supporting documents for visa and permit matters, and universities send transcripts.
Can I fax a Nepali bank?
Yes, and many still expect it for signed instructions, account changes and KYC documents. Put the account number and the account holder’s name on every page so it can be matched.
Can I fax the Department of Immigration in Nepal?
Yes. It accepts supporting documents for visa extensions and work permits by fax. Take the current number from the department’s own site rather than a directory, and put the applicant’s name and passport number on every page.
