If you’re in San Diego and need legal documents served, our team at San Diego Private Investigations is here to help. Whether it’s a routine task or a more challenging individual to locate, we’ll make sure your documents get delivered smoothly. We keep things efficient and keep you updated throughout the process.
What is Process Serving?
Process serving is simply delivering legal papers, which can include subpoenas, summonses and complaints, or court orders to a person or entity involved in a legal proceeding. A professional process server can perform this by means that can include personal delivery, leaving the documents with a responsible party at the recipient’s home, business, or registered agent.
We offer several options depending on your needs. Standard process serving can take anywhere from 5-20 business days depending on how easy it is to locate the individual or business to be served. If it’s urgent, we also provide same-day and rush services, which are great if you’re in a time crunch. For tough-to-find individuals, we use investigative methods like skip tracing to track them down and effect service.
Steps Involved:
Submit the Documents:
First, we need the legal papers you want to be served. These can include summons, complaints, subpoenas, or eviction notices. You can provide copies or originals, depending on the case.
Share Information About the Person:
The more details you give us about the individual, the better. Full name, address, phone number, and even a recent photo or vehicle description can help.
Service Attempts:
We’ll start delivering the documents based on the information you provide. If needed, we’ll try multiple attempts and/or addresses.
Receive Proof of Service:
After the papers are served, you’ll get a notarized affidavit of service. This document confirms the job is done, and it’s important for your case to proceed.
How Much Does Process Serving Cost in San Diego?
The cost for standard service typically ranges from $65 to $95, depending on how many attempts are needed. It may cost more for same-day or rush services or if the individual is difficult to serve. Businesses tend to be easier to serve, while individuals may require additional steps, which can increase the price.
