How much does it cost to get papers served?
Process serving rates can vary from case to case and state to state. Same day or rush serves are typically billed at a higher rate. The cost of a routine serve (a serve that is first attempted within several days of receiving the papers) can be as low as $40 and can go up to $150.
What is substituted service?
When an individual is unavailable for personal service, many jurisdictions allow for substituted service. This allows the process server to leave service documents with other responsible individuals such as cohabiting adults. Some jurisdictions allow for substitute service upon a person in charge at the individual’s place of business.
Can service be made by mail?
Service by mail is permitted by many U.S. jurisdictions for service on defendants located in other U.S. states or foreign countries.
Can an agent accept service of process?
Sometimes, delivery to an agent for acceptance of service or “Registered Agent” can substitute for personal service on the principal party to be served.
Can service of process be provided on Holidays?
Certain states prohibit the delivery or serving of documents on Sundays, holidays, and election days. Some states will allow the service of documents under special circumstances, such as when the service of process is pursuant to a court order.
