INFORMATION
What is a Process Server?
Process Servers are individuals over the age of 18 who give legal notice to a party requiring them to respond to a proceeding scheduled to be held before a court, government body, or tribunal. Notice is usually provided by presenting the party in question with court documents such as Summonses, Complaints, Subpoenas, etc.
Each state has their own rules regarding service of process. Some documents must be served personally, while others may be served upon a person of approved age at the intended party's residence or place of employment.
The requirements for becoming a process server are equally varied. Many states have no licensing laws, others require process servers to be licensed, pass educational testing, and / or execute a bond. Some states have local licensing laws applicable to certain areas. In New York, for example, requires all those who wish to serve process within New York City's five boroughs (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx, Staten Island, Queens) to be licensed through the NYC Department of Consumer Affairs. The same rule does not apply to the rest of the state.
All of the process servers who run our field offices adhere to any licensing, education, and bonding requirements imposed by the jurisdiction in which they operate.

Uniform Interstate Depositions and Discovery Act
Prior to the Uniform Interstate Depositions and Discovery Act "UIDDA", conducting discovery in jurisdictions outside of the trial state was cumbersome and expensive. Many states enacted a form of the Uniform Foreign Depositions Act which required having to obtain a Commission or Letters Rogatory from the trial state in order have a subpoena issued in the foreign state. Thanks to the Uniform Law Commission, the UIDDA has eased the requirements in the discovery process outside of the trial state.
In order to issue a subpoena pursuant to the UIDDA, the subpoena from the trial state is presented to the clerk of the court in the county where discovery is to be made in the foreign state. Thereafter, the clerk, in accordance with their procedures, should promptly issue the subpoena directly to the individual or entity.
While the UIDDA was created to make discovery easier by removing the need for local counsel, judge's involvement or obtaining a commission, you will find that there is little uniformity given every state, every county down to every court clerk has their own procedures.
Much of what we do is based on the application of the UIDDA and each state's version of it. To learn more about the UIDDA, please contact us so we you can learn about each state and county procedures.
