Standard Document Delivery in Sacramento
Not every case is an emergency. When you have legal documents that need to be served but no pressing court deadline, standard document delivery is the practical choice.
What Is Standard Document Delivery?
Sacramento Registered Process Server offers standard document delivery throughout Sacramento County and surrounding areas for a flat rate of $99. Your documents are served within 5 business days by a California registered process server, and you receive a court-ready proof of service upon completion. We accept all document types — summons and complaints, subpoenas, family law papers, eviction notices, small claims filings, and more. There is no difference in quality between our standard tier and our faster options. The same registered servers handle your documents, the same proof of service is filed, and the same professionalism applies. The only difference is the timeline.
If your case does require faster turnaround, we also offer Expedited service at $150 for 3 business days and Rush service at $175 for 24-hour delivery. But if you have the time, standard delivery saves you money without sacrificing anything else.
How It Works
Step 1 — Submit Your Documents
Upload your documents through our intake form or drop them off at our office. Include the recipient’s name, address, and any relevant case information. We accept documents for all California courts and all document types — civil, family law, small claims, unlawful detainer, subpoenas, and more.
Step 2 — We Serve the Documents
A registered process server is assigned to your case and begins service attempts. We make multiple attempts at varying times to reach the recipient. You receive status updates throughout the process so you always know where things stand. Standard delivery is completed within 5 business days.
Step 3 — You Receive Proof of Service
Once the documents are served, we prepare and deliver a completed proof of service that is ready for court filing. The proof of service includes the date, time, location, and manner of service — everything the court requires. Need us to file it? Add our court filing service for $30.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of documents can you serve with standard delivery?
We accept all document types for standard delivery. This includes summons and complaints, subpoenas, family law documents (divorce papers, custody motions, modification requests), small claims filings, eviction notices, cease and desist letters, demand letters, and any other legal document that requires personal service. If you are unsure whether your document needs personal service or can be served by another method, contact us and we will advise you.
What happens if you cannot serve the person within 5 business days?
If service is not completed within 5 business days, we do not simply give up. We communicate with you about the situation — whether the recipient appears to be avoiding service, the address may be incorrect, or additional attempts are needed. We will discuss next steps, which may include upgrading to a faster tier, attempting service at an alternate address, or recommending a skip trace if the person cannot be located.
Do you serve documents outside of Sacramento County?
Our standard coverage area is Sacramento County and the surrounding region, including Placer, El Dorado, Yolo, and San Joaquin counties. For service beyond this area, contact us to discuss your needs. We can typically accommodate service throughout Northern California and can coordinate with affiliated servers statewide.
Can I upgrade to a faster tier after I have already submitted my documents?
Yes. If your situation changes and you need faster service, contact us and we can upgrade your order to Expedited ($150) or Rush ($175). We will apply the $99 you already paid toward the upgraded tier, so you only pay the difference. The upgraded timeline begins from the point of the upgrade, not from your original submission date.
