See service areasWhat does a process server do?
A process server delivers legal documents to the person or company named in them, in the way the court's rules require, and then swears an affidavit of service saying when, where and how it was done. The affidavit is your proof to the court that the other side has received the documents.
How much does process serving cost?
Personal service in metropolitan Melbourne is usually $280 to $380 + GST, including up to three attempts and a sworn affidavit. Regional Victoria is $450 to $1,100+ depending on distance, interstate is $440 to $550, and international service starts from $880. Urgent or same-day service adds $140 to $320. You always get a fixed price before we start.
How quickly can you serve documents?
Standard jobs are usually attempted within one to two business days of receiving the documents. Urgent and same-day service is available across Melbourne when there's a tight hearing date or a deadline.
Do you serve after hours and on weekends?
Yes. Many people are only home early in the morning, in the evening or on weekends, so we schedule attempts at the times you're most likely to find them.
What if the person is avoiding service?
We vary attempt times, use workplace and vehicle details you give us, and record each attempt. If personal service can't be achieved, we provide affidavits of attempted service that support an application to the court for substituted service.
