I have corrected the spelling for you :wink:

A burofax is a document delivery service by mail that is similar to a telegram.

The difference is that the document is received through the fax system instead of the telegraph.

A burofax is cerrtified as having been sent to the recipient and a signed receipt will be required on delivery. Also the content of the submitted burofax is retained by the post office (or delivery agent) and is offibcially stamped.

For this reason, it is used mainly for official statements and notifications

It is a legal document that can be used in any legal action that a person may be intending to start . You are offered various extras such as accuse de recibo which means that you get a notification confirming who signed for the letter with a NIE/dni time and date , this does of course cost more. Also you can get a copy of the document certified by the post office st the same time.
