Frequently Asked Questions

How long does process serving take in Sacramento County?

It depends on the service tier you select. Standard service is completed within 5 business days, expedited within 3 business days, and rush service within 24 hours. Most standard services are completed well before the 5-day window.

What if the person I need served is avoiding service?

We make multiple attempts at different times and days. If personal service isn’t possible after documented attempts, we can discuss alternative methods authorized under California law, including substitute service or service by posting with court approval.

Do you file documents at Sacramento County Superior Court?

Yes. We offer court filing as a $30 add-on. We’ll file your documents at the correct Sacramento County courthouse — whether that’s the main courthouse on 9th Street, Carol Miller Justice Center, or the Ridgeway Family Relations Courthouse.

Can I serve someone myself in Sacramento County?

California law allows any person who is at least 18 years old and not a party to the case to serve legal documents. However, using a registered process server ensures proper service and provides professional proof of service documentation that courts accept without question.
