Most people know that process servers deliver papers for court cases—but they may not realize how many different types of legal documents can be served. Arizona process servers, including those at ASAP Serve, can promptly and legally serve many types of legal documents.
When a process server delivers official court documents notifying someone to appear in court on a specific date and time, those documents are often referred to as “process.” These may include:
Writs
A writ is a written order issued by a court.
Subpoenas
A subpoena is a type of writ that orders a person to testify in court or produce documents.
Complaints
A complaint explains why a person is being sued, outlines the specific claims, and provides key details about the case.
Summonses
A summons is the formal notice ordering a person to appear in court.
In addition to these documents, process servers may also serve:
-
Civil summons
-
Civil complaints
-
Forcible detainer actions
-
Eviction notices
-
Garnishments
-
Orders of protection
-
Injunctions prohibiting harassment
-
Petitions for supplemental proceedings
-
Child support papers
-
Divorce papers
-
Collection letters
Because some individuals actively avoid being served, process servers often rely on strong investigative skills. They may conduct stakeouts, surveillance, and skip tracing to locate hard-to-find individuals.
If you need any of the above documents served, place an order online, anytime.
