Find & Compare Process Servers in Your Area!

Process servers hand-deliver legal documents such as summonses, complaints, subpoenas, eviction notices, and divorce papers to the person named, then file a sworn proof of service the court will accept. Many also do skip tracing to locate someone who has moved, and courthouse filing runs. People come to this page because a lawyer or court told them a case cannot move forward until the other party is properly served.

Some states license or register process servers and others do not, so ask whether a license, registration, or bond applies where the papers will be served and whether they have it. Ask how many delivery attempts the fee covers, what happens if the person avoids service, how fast the affidavit of service comes back, and whether rush and evening service cost extra. Pricing is typically a flat fee per address with add-ons for extra attempts, mileage, and skip tracing. If you still need a lawyer to prepare the documents, the legal services section covers the field, and for documents that do not need sworn proof, courier services are cheaper.

The process servers here wrote their own listings, and a person reviewed each one before it was published. If you serve legal papers, apply to get listed — free, and you can finish in minutes.
