1. What does a Process Server do?

Delivering notices, summonses, and other important documents to parties involved in a court case is the responsibility of a process server.

Process servers must give concrete proof that the legal documents were served. Affidavit of service or proof of service is the name of the offered confirmation, which must be notarized or commissioned and handed to the person or business that requested that the papers be served. Legally, process servers must follow the guidelines set forth by the courts while serving papers.

2. What areas does your company serve?

We serve all customers in the Halifax Regional Municipality. If the document needs to be served outside of Halifax, Timberlea, Hammond Plains, Beechville, Hubley, Bedford or Dartmouth areas, a mileage fee is added. For an estimate, go to “Request a quick estimate” .

3. Does your company provide legal advice?

We do not provide legal advice. There are many helpful links in our “Useful Links” section.  For legal advice we recommend you contact a lawyer.

6. What happens if we are unsuccessful in serving the respondent with the legal document?

You are encouraged to return to court and inform the judge that the process server was unable to serve the respondents with the documents and that three attempts were made. The judge might grant you an alternative method of service.
