Serve Walmart in Sacramento — Same-Day Service Available

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is Walmart’s registered agent in California?

Wal-Mart Associates, Inc.’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 entity should I name in my service?

Walmart uses several operating entities. Match to the underlying claim: Wal-Mart Associates, Inc. for employment and operations matters (the main California employer entity); Walmart Inc. for parent / corporate-level matters; Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. is the legacy entity name still used in some matters. Verify the exact entity in your court documents before serving.

Can I serve Walmart at a local store instead?

The most reliable way to serve Walmart is through their registered agent in Sacramento. California law (CCP §415.10 / §416.10) allows service at a corporate headquarters in certain circumstances, but serving at a local store or branch may not satisfy the legal requirements for service on the corporation — and risks 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 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 Walmart?

Every type — slip-and-fall and premises liability summons and complaints, ADA demand letters, PAGA and class action wage-and-hour cases, product liability actions, vendor contract disputes, and discovery subpoenas (SDT) for purchase records, employment files, and surveillance video. PAGA and slip-and-fall matters are the two highest-volume categories we handle for Walmart 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 Walmart 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 95% of cases, registered agent service is the right choice and the cheaper option.
