Most likely address and, when available, possible phone and email address.

Do I Want Routine Service, Rush Service or Priority Service?

Different people define these terms in various ways. The best thing to do when you ask for a price quote is to immediatly inform the process serving company representative if you need it done same day, tomorrow, in two days or if it is routine service. Routine service can be one week or more. In other words, be specific as to what your deadline is. State the date rather than use a term such as routine or prioirty.

You will most likely pay more if you need the serve expedited or if you need the server at a locaiton attempting service at a specific date and time.

How Much Does a Process Server Cost?

If you are a law firm with bulk serves on an ongoing basis, you are likely to get a volume discount. If this is a one time need or you have fewer than ten a month, you could expect to pay $75 and up. There will be additional fees for time and mileage if there is not a server near the service address.

You will also pay an additional fee if you want the process server to skip trace or locate an address for the servee. This averages $99 and up.

What is an Affidavit of Service or Return of Service?

Upon completion, the process serving company will provide you with a Proof of Service. Whether this be a notarized affidavit for a summons (an affidavit of service), or a return of service acknowledging the serve or non-serve of the party. Typically, subpoenas do not requirea notarized affidavit and a return signed by the process server is sufficient.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Why Should I Hire a Process Server?
Typically, a process server is more tenacious than law enforcement in atempting a service of process. A process server will attempt a serve when they are more likely to be successful rather than when they may be in the neighborhood. Further, a process server will likely attempt different day parts and various days of the week in order to ensure success.

Having said that, successful service is not guaranteed. See below under "What is Due Diligence?"

What are the Responsibilities of a Process Server?
A process server is required to serve various legal documents to a party in a lawsuit. They do not deliver, they serve. This includes summonses, subpoenas to third parties to testify in court or produce documents, formal complaints, and writs.
A process server can help you locate a defendant to provide service of process, but that is an additional fee. Most states require process servers to be of a certain age and have no interest in the case.

A process server cannot and should not provide legal advice. If you are representing yourself, it is up to you to research legal questions on your own. However, it is advisable that you get legal counsel to represent you instead.

What is Due Diligence?
No process server can guarantee service will be successful. All a professional process server can affirm ist hat due diligence will be conducted for a certain number of attempts the client pays.

Due diligence is an earnest effort to try to have successful service; different times of day, different days of the week.

Depending on the circumstance, the process server may knock on a neighbor's door if they do not get an answer at the address they are attempting to service. The process server may make note of license plates, current landscaping, a large volume of mail sticking out of the box, dogs barking in the house, etc.

Do I Want Routine Service, Rush Service or Priority Service?

The best thing to do when you ask for a price quote is to immediately inform the process serving company representative if you need it done same day, tomorrow, in two days or if it is routine service.
