How to Hire a Process Server to Serve a Court Order

If you need to serve a Court Order or other legal document, instructing an experienced Process Server is often the safest and most reliable option. A Process Server specialises in the personal service of legal documents, ensuring they are delivered correctly and that you receive the evidence of service required by the court.

Why Use a Process Server?

Although it is sometimes possible to serve court papers yourself, doing so is not always the best option. Court documents often have strict rules governing how and when they must be served. If service is not completed correctly or within the required timescale, your hearing could be delayed, your application challenged, or you may incur unnecessary costs.

An experienced Process Server understands the rules surrounding service and can deal with situations where a respondent or defendant is deliberately avoiding service. Multiple attendance attempts, visits at different times of day and practical experience of dealing with evasive recipients can often make the difference between successful service and unnecessary delays.

What Should You Look For?

Not all Process Servers offer the same level of experience or service. Before instructing a Process Server, it is worth considering:

• How long they have been established.

• Whether they have genuine customer reviews and testimonials.

• Their experience serving the type of documents you require.

• Whether they offer nationwide coverage if required.

• How quickly they can attend.

• Whether they provide court-compliant proof of service, such as a Certificate of Service, Statement of Service or Affidavit where required.

• Whether their pricing is transparent, with no hidden charges.

Choosing an experienced and reputable Process Serving company gives you confidence that your documents will be served professionally and in accordance with the applicable court rules.

Why Independent Service Matters

One of the advantages of using an independent Process Server is that they are not a party to the proceedings. If service is later challenged, the Process Server can provide independent evidence explaining how, when and where the documents were served.

Depending on the type of proceedings, this may take the form of a Certificate of Service, Statement of Service or an Affidavit of Service, enabling the court to determine whether service has been properly effected.
