**Hello Magento Friends,**

Today I am going to show How To Show Fax Field In Magento 2.
Faxes are a quick alternative to sending and receiving documents. It is used as a communication tool for lengthy orders, signing documents, or other information. Though it is an outdated way of communication with the emergence of computers and the internet, some companies still use fax for transmitting information.
In Magento 2, the default customer registration form does not include the fax field as it is disabled from the backend. But if you require fax information from customers you can easily enable it. Let’s see how
## Steps To Show Fax Field In Magento 2:
- Log in to your **Magento 2 admin** dashboard.- Open the **Stores** menu and select **Configuration** under the Settings section.- Look to the left of the screen and extend **CUSTOMERS**.- From the options select **Customer Configuration**.- Enlarge the **Name and Address Options** tab.
