What a burofax is, and why it matters

A burofax is a letter sent through a certified postal service in Spain. It proves that it was sent, when, and that it was delivered or that delivery was attempted. It is the usual way to claim a deposit, an unpaid invoice or wages from someone in Spain. Since 2025, almost every civil lawsuit in Spain requires proof that you first tried to settle, and a burofax is the simplest way to show it.

How it works

• Paste your letter and we tell you for free if something is missing.
• Enter your name and address. If you have no address in Spain, tick “I have no address in Spain” (+10 €).
• Enter the recipient’s name and address in Spain (not a PO box), and their email if you know it.
• Pay by card (Visa, Mastercard, American Express), Apple Pay or Google Pay. The invoice can carry your company’s VAT ID.
• Choose how it reaches them: on paper with proof of delivery, by certified email (to their inbox, with proof of what you sent and when it arrived) at the same price, or both for 10 € more. We email you each step.

The sender address if you don’t live in Spain

The burofax service only accepts senders with an address in Spain. So the envelope reads “your name, c/o Burofácil” with our address. That is normal when someone sends on behalf of another: inside the letter it is you who writes and claims. Put your address and email in the letter so they answer you directly. If a letter still reaches our address, we scan it and email it to you.

Companies and agents outside Spain

• You can send it on behalf of a client: the letter says who is claiming and on whose behalf.
• The letter can be in Spanish, or in Spanish and English.
• Invoice in your company’s name, with your VAT ID: you add it when paying.
• Paper is included up to 4 pages; each extra page is 1 €. You see it before paying.

If it ends up in court

The burofax and its proof of delivery show that you tried to settle before suing. The postal operator keeps a copy of your letter for 10 years. For the strongest proof, a notary can certify exactly what you sent: tick it when paying (+35 €) or ask us later. For small amounts you don’t need a lawyer in Spain, but from abroad it often pays to have someone represent you there.

Common cases

• You live abroad and your tenant in Spain isn’t paying rent
• You left Spain and the landlord won’t return your deposit
• A Spanish company isn’t paying your invoice
• You need to send a formal demand letter to someone in Spain
• You left Spain and need to cancel a contract there
• You wrote your letter with ChatGPT

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a Spanish address or a digital certificate?

No. You pay by card and you don't need a digital certificate or to visit any office. If you have no address in Spain, the burofax goes out in your name with our address as the return address.

What goes on the envelope as sender if I live outside Spain?

“Your name, c/o Burofácil” with our address in Spain, because the burofax service only accepts senders with a Spanish address. Our address is only for the envelope: your own address and email go inside the letter, so the recipient replies to you directly. If a letter still reaches our address, we scan it and email it to you.

How much does it cost?

If you already have the letter: 39 € if you have no address in Spain (29 € for sending it, plus 10 € for sending it with our Spanish address as sender), or 29 € if you do have an address in Spain. Paper is included up to 4 pages; each extra page is 1 €. Optional: a notary certifies exactly what you sent, +35 €. Letter in another language: sent translated into Spanish, +20 €. By certified email instead of paper, same price; by both, +10 €. VAT included. You see the exact price before paying.

When does it arrive?

If it goes out before 18:00 (Spanish time) on a working day, it is delivered the next working day. If nobody is in, there is a second attempt the following day and then it waits 10 days at the post office. If they never collect it, you still have proof of the delivery attempt.

Can I upload my letter as a PDF and attach documents?

Yes. Upload your letter as a PDF (sent exactly as it is) or a Word file, and add the contract, invoices or photos: they go with the letter in the same burofax and count as pages. No need to sign it: on paper a digital signature doesn't survive.

What language should the letter be in?

Spanish, because that is what the other party and a Spanish court will read. You can write it in your own language: we send it translated into Spanish (+20 €), you check the translation before paying and you keep your original.
