When actions are taken against a person in a court of law, they are required to be notified. People are notified of these actions in different ways. Some of these actions include the delivery of important legal documents such as:
Subpoenas
Summons
Complaints
Order to Show Cause
Writs
The laws and rules of process serving vary from state to state, but the basics remain the same. Any person who is over the age of 18 and not a party to the case is allowed to serve papers. Some states require process servers to be licensed or registered with the state.
Paper Delivery
The cost of serving papers can vary greatly depending on the circumstances. The average cost of routine service ranges from $35–$100. The more difficult the serve, the more it will cost. State and nationwide rush deliveries usually cost more. Standards rates typically include mileage. They also include four delivery attempts, with the first delivery attempt to be within four business days.
There are different time-periods in which papers can be served. Routine service allows the first attempt at delivery to be anywhere from four to seven days upon job acceptance. Rush service allows the first attempt at delivery to be within three days. Most companies also offer same-day service as well.
Many process-serving companies perform additional services. Some of these services include, but are not limited to:
Skip Tracing
Surveillance
Document Retrieval
Diligent Search
Notary Public
Forward Monies
Three-Day Notice
