What do we do?

Process serving is the formal delivery of legal documents to a defendant or a party involved in a court case. This ensures they are officially and legally notified of legal proceedings, upcoming court dates, in a manner which is compliant with the Court requirements.

Is your process serving legally compliant?

Absolutely. We adhere strictly to all local, state, and federal laws governing the service of process. This ensures your documents are served legally, safely, and in a way that stands up in a court of law.

What types of documents do you serve?

We serve all types of legal and court-related paperwork. This includes divorce papers, family court applications, statutory demands, eviction notices, summonses, complaints, subpoenas, and letters of demand.

Do we serve court documents?

Yes, We can also serve other documents as well depending on their nature.

What is the turnaround time for serving documents?

We typically make our first service attempt within 2 to 4 days of receiving the job. For time-sensitive matters, we also offer priority service to meet tight court deadlines

What is the cost of your services?

Our standard fees are determined by the distance of the service address from the Perth CBD. For any process serves located more than 40 kilometres from the Perth CBD, we provide custom quotes upon request.

Can you provide me advice about what documents to lodge or what to put in them?

No, our role is to simply serve the documents provided to us.

How many attempts will you make to serve the documents?

The fee package includes up to 3 attempts. We will seek information from you about the person being served so that we can maximise the possibility of a successful outcome.

Are you able to serve documents after hours or on weekends?

Yes. We understand that timing is critical in legal matters. We routinely accommodate after-hours, early morning, and weekend service attempts to maximize the chances of a successful delivery.

Will I be able to check on the progress of my service?

We will provide status updates via email so you know when and where attempts were made and the outcome of such an attempt.

How do you handle difficult or evasive recipients?

Our process servers are highly trained to handle tense or difficult situations professionally and legally. To help us navigate these cases, we rely on details provided by our clients, such as their known schedules and personal interests.

What happens if the person refuses to accept the documents?

If the recipient refuses to accept the documents, subject to the court rules and regulations we are permitted to notify them of the nature of the documents and leave them in their present. This is often followed by a running race if the recipient tries to return the documents to us.

What happens if you cannot locate the person to be served?

If an individual cannot be found after exhaustive attempts, we will provide you with a detailed affidavit of our efforts. This report can be used to request alternative options from the court, such as substituted service via post or email.

How do you provide proof that the papers were delivered?

Once delivery is complete, the server fills out and signs an Affidavit of Service (or Certificate of Service). A digital copy will be provided to you for lodgement.

Will you be available to testify in court if the service is contested?

If the opposing side challenges the validity of the service at a hearing, we can appear in court to testify about the exact date, time, and method of delivery.
