What does process service cost? At JPL Process Service, LLC, published nationwide rates start at $99 for Standard service, $125 for Priority, and $175 for Same Day service, where available. Each rate is per party, per address.
The right service level depends on your deadline, the service location, and the details of your assignment. Here is how to understand the price before placing an order.
JPL’s Nationwide Process Service Cost
| Service level | Published rate | First attempt begins |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | $99 | 3–5 business days after receipt |
| Priority | $125 | The next business day |
| Same Day | $175 | The same day, where available |
These timeframes refer to the first attempt, not completed service. Contact JPL to confirm availability for an urgent assignment.
Always review our current nationwide service rates. If a location or other circumstance requires a different rate, we contact you for approval before proceeding at that rate.
What Does the Service Fee Include?
Our published service levels include:
- Up to six attempts, depending on location.
- Gas and mileage.
- Proof or affidavit of service upon successful service.
- Online status updates and secure document uploads.
When comparing quotes, ask what the fee covers. A useful comparison includes the number of attempts, the service address, the requested speed, and how you receive updates and completion documents.
What Can Affect Your Process Service Cost?
Service speed. Standard, Priority, and Same Day have different starting schedules and prices. Choose the level that fits your assignment, and tell us about your deadline.
Parties and addresses. The rates above apply to one party at one address. If you need multiple people served or want service at more than one address, include those details when discussing your order.
Location and assignment details. Tell us about any unusual access conditions or special instructions. We can review the assignment and discuss whether a different rate applies.
Additional services. Locating an address and filing documents are separate needs. If you need skip tracing or court filing assistance, ask about those services before assuming they are included.
Get the Right Service Level Before Ordering
Have your documents, recipient’s name, service address, deadline, and instructions ready. If the address may be outdated, say so. If you have a hearing coming up, provide that date too.
