If you have never had to send a burofax, you may not know how it is done, what it is for or in which cases it can be useful. But sending it is essential in some cases. It is a way to urgently send a document that requires proof before third parties. Complaints, claims, debts… So if you want to save yourself traveling to an office, this is how you can send a burofax online from your mobile phone or the computer, through the Internet.
What to consider and what to look for
You will probably never you have sent a burofax or that you do not consider that it is something useful in your day to day. But it is a service that has been available for decades and that is designed for urgent delivery of documents that require safe delivery and that require proof before third parties. That is, when delivering a burofax you must sign a document that confirms that you have received it but also leaves a “trace” of everything else. We have proof of content, shipping. That is, the content, the issuer, the recipient and the date of shipment are registered. And for what? For certain legal matters in the face of trials, for example. For official communications that you must test later.
It is sent through a postal address and reaches the address of the person to whom you have sent it, be it their home or an office. How is it different from the registered letter? The registered letter leaves proof that that person has received it since you must sign when picking it up but not on the content. In the case of the burofax, the content and the communication received are accredited.
What should we consider? If you have never sent a burofax you should bear in mind that it is usually much more expensive than a normal letter.

And how long does it take? Little. The burofax is fast and delivered always on the day or the next morning, at the latest, in the case of shipments within the national territory.
