The Internet facsimile apparatus in the present invention is provided with data memories such as telephone book data memory, relay FAX data memory and adjacent district number memory. Its collation section collates the telephone number of the recipient with the data of the telephone book memory, then the relay destination search section searches for data in the relay FAX data memory and obtains the address of a relay apparatus candidate. If there is no appropriate relay apparatus in the same district, the adjacent district number search section searches for the number of an adjacent district and continues the search based on the district number. In this way, when carrying out image transmission using the Internet facsimile apparatus as a relay apparatus, the nearest Internet facsimile apparatus suitable for use as a relay apparatus is automatically selected.
