Eleven Qualities To Consider Before Hiring A Process Server
Choose a provider based on the work you need and the terms it can confirm. Price, a polished website, or a credential alone does not guarantee successful service.
1. Relevant Coverage
Confirm the provider handles the exact location and document type.
2. Applicable Qualifications
Ask which registration, bonding, or other requirements apply to the assignment.
3. Clear Pricing
Get the fee and included work in writing before dispatch.
4. Realistic Timing
Distinguish the first attempt from completed service and discuss your actual deadline.
5. Documented Attempts
Ask how dates, times, locations, and outcomes are recorded.
6. Reliable Communication
Confirm how to request a status update and who handles questions.
7. Accurate Packet Handling
Check that every recipient receives the correct complete packet.
8. Address Problem Procedures
Discuss what happens if the address is incomplete or the recipient has moved.
9. Approval For Extra Work
Confirm additional research, addresses, and stakeouts before incurring charges.
10. Proof Of Service
Ask how the proof will be completed, returned, and filed.
11. Professional Conduct
Look for respectful handling, accurate records, and realistic explanations of limitations.
