Serve Verizon in Sacramento — Same-Day Service Available

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is Verizon’s registered agent in California?

Cellco Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless’s California registered agent is CSC (Corporation Service Company), located at 2710 Gateway Oaks Drive, Suite 150N, Sacramento, CA 95833. We serve CSC routinely — see our CSC registered agent page for full details. (Always verify the current agent on file at the California Secretary of State business search before serving — agents can change.)

Which Verizon entity should I name — Cellco Partnership or Verizon Communications?

For the vast majority of California lawsuits involving Verizon wireless service, billing, TCPA claims, or subscriber records, the correct entity is Cellco Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless — this is the actual operating entity behind the Verizon Wireless brand in California. For shareholder derivative actions and corporate governance matters, use Verizon Communications Inc., the public parent company. Both entities use CSC as their California registered agent at the same Sacramento address, so we can serve either for $85 flat. Always verify the exact entity on your court documents.

Can I serve Verizon at a local office or location instead?

The most reliable way to serve Verizon is through their registered agent in Sacramento. California law (CCP §415.10 / §416.10) allows service on a corporation only at specific designated persons or locations, and attempting service at a retail store, branch office, or local facility may not satisfy the legal requirements — risking defective service that gets thrown out. Using the registered agent avoids that risk entirely. The cost is the same either way ($85 flat for registered agent service).

How fast can you serve CSC?

Same-day in most cases. The CSC office at 2710 Gateway Oaks Drive is open standard business hours, and we can typically pick up your documents and serve them within a few hours of receiving them. Rush jobs are no problem.

What types of legal documents do you serve on Verizon?

Every type — subpoenas for subscriber records, call detail records, and text message logs (SDT subpoenas are a high-volume category), summons and complaints, TCPA and robocall class actions, billing and consumer protection complaints, wage-and-hour and PAGA complaints, and data breach class action notices. TCPA and subscriber-records subpoenas are the two highest-volume categories we handle for Verizon service.

What is the price difference between registered agent service and direct service?

Registered agent service is a flat $85 — that’s the recommended approach for almost all registered agent service. Direct service (when appropriate) is process serving and uses our tiered pricing: Standard $99 (5 days), Expedited $150 (3 days), Rush $175 (24 hours). For the vast majority of cases, registered agent service is the right choice and the cheaper option.
