Meta Platforms (Formerly Facebook, Inc.) Uses CSC at 2710 Gateway Oaks
Meta Platforms, Inc. — the legal entity formerly known as Facebook, Inc. — operates Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Threads. California civil suits against any of these brands name Meta Platforms, Inc. as the defendant, with service going to its California registered agent: CSC Lawyers Incorporating Service at 2710 Gateway Oaks Drive, Sacramento. The case volume is significant: privacy class actions (the Cambridge Analytica progeny continues), defamation suits, IP litigation, employment claims, and a constant stream of subpoenas for user records.
Subpoenas to Meta for user records — Facebook account data, Instagram DMs, WhatsApp message metadata — follow specific procedures laid out in Meta’s Law Enforcement Guidelines plus California’s CCP § 1985.3 Notice to Consumer requirements. Sacramento Registered Process Server handles the CSC service mechanics; the underlying subpoena drafting and consumer-notice compliance are the responsibility of the issuing attorney. Standard $99 flat for the CSC serve.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Facebook and Instagram served at the same address?
Yes — both are products of Meta Platforms, Inc., which uses CSC at 2710 Gateway Oaks for California service. Subpoenas naming ‘Facebook’ should be addressed to Meta Platforms, Inc. (or ‘Meta Platforms, Inc., d/b/a Facebook’) for clarity.
Does WhatsApp have a separate registered agent?
WhatsApp LLC is sometimes separately registered, particularly for its end-to-end encryption-related litigation. Verify the named defendant before serving — for most matters, Meta Platforms, Inc. is the proper defendant; for WhatsApp-specific claims, WhatsApp LLC may apply.
How fast does Meta respond to subpoenas?
Meta’s law-enforcement and civil-subpoena response team is structured for high volume. Most subpoena responses come within 10-30 days depending on scope. Privacy objections and Notice-to-Consumer challenges can extend the timeline significantly.
