The link between ordinary Standard model (SM) photon and both dark photon and axion like particle (ALP) can be introduced through the dark axion portal coupling. Given the dark axion portal setup, in the present paper we refer the dark photon as the mediator between SM and dark matter (DM) particles, implying that it decays predominantly into pair of DM fermions. Furthermore, we discuss in detail the implication of the dark axion portal scenario for the lepton (electron and muon) fixed target experiments. In particular, for the specific fixed target facility we study the missing energy signatures of the dark photon production followed by its invisible decay into stable DM particles. We investigated the potential to probe dark axion portal vertices with regarding signatures and derive the expected sensitivities of NA64$e$, NA64$μ$, LDMX and $\mbox{M}^3$. Moreover, we estimated the expected reach of NA64$e$ from the projected statistics of the $J/ψ$ vector meson invisible decays. We also recasted BaBar monophoton bounds for the specific dark axion portal scenario. In addition, we modified the dark axion portal setup by including in the model both the hadron and lepton specific ALP couplings. As the result, we obtain the bounds on the combination of fermion-specific couplings of ALP from the fixed target experiments. We discuss the implication of the modified dark axion portal scenario for the electric dipole moments (EDM) of SM fermions. In addition, we derived the novel constraints on the combination of the $CP$-violating neutron-specific ALP couplings from the existing bounds on neutron EDM by taking into account the neutron anomalous magnetic moment.
