🇺🇬 How to Fax a Document to Uganda Online
Choose Uganda (+256) on our homepage, type the fax number without the 0 at the start, and pay $6.99 for up to 3 pages, with $0.99 for each further page. A number written 0414 123 456 is typed as 414123456, which is 9 digits. No account is needed, and if the fax cannot be delivered, you are refunded automatically.
How to enter a Ugandan fax number
Every Ugandan number has 9 digits after the +256 country code. When the number is written for use inside Uganda, a 0 is added in front, and you remove that 0 when you send from the United States. Our form adds +256 for you as soon as you choose Uganda, so you only type the 9 digits.
Uganda's official numbering plan, as published by the International Telecommunication Union in July 2026, lists fixed line numbers by telephone company rather than by city. After the 0 is removed, fixed line numbers start with 4, with 3, or with 20. Here are three worked examples:
| Written in Uganda | Type in our box | Digits |
|---|---|---|
| 0414 123 456 | 414123456 | 9 |
| 0312 345 678 | 312345678 | 9 |
| +256 200 123 456 | 200123456 | 9 |
If the number you were given is printed with +256 already in front, type only what comes after it. If you count 10 digits, the 0 is most likely still at the start.

What to write on the cover page
Put the recipient's name or department and the organization at the top, followed by the fax number as they gave it to you. Then write your own full name, your email address, and a phone number that starts with +1. Note the total number of pages and add one or two sentences that explain what you are sending and why, including any reference number. A clear cover page makes it much easier for the office to act on your fax.
Who faxes Uganda from the US
Typical recipients are banks, universities, law offices, business partners, and the Ugandan embassy or consulates. Please take any official fax number from that organization's own website or from a letter it sent you, rather than from a directory.
If your fax to Uganda fails
Most failed faxes have a number problem, so check for the 0 at the start and make sure you typed 9 digits. Confirm that the number is a fax line, because a voice phone cannot receive a fax. A busy line or a machine that is switched off can also cause a failure, so try to send during office hours in Uganda, which are several hours ahead of the US. Checking the current time in Kampala before you send is a good habit.
A fax usually arrives within a few minutes, and some international routes can take up to about 30 minutes. If it cannot be delivered, you receive an email and the payment is refunded automatically.
Receiving a reply from Uganda
When the recipient needs to fax you back, GetAFax.com gives you a private US fax number for 24 hours for $5. It accepts up to 30 pages, and each fax is delivered to your email as a PDF.
