He/ She serves civil process upon businesses, individuals, and governmental agencies. Whenever someone files a lawsuit in a court of law, that person must serve notice to the other party that a court appearance is required. This is where he/she comes in.
To have the Oklahoma courts consider your service of process to be valid, a neutral party must serve the court papers. Instead of hiring a sheriff’s deputy who scares many people away by going in uniform and often makes only one (1) to two (2) attempts, you should instead hire a professional.
They go out more discreetly in plainclothes and makes up to four (4) attempts on service to one defendant at one address. Indeed, they might even show up in costume (i.e., pizza delivery driver, etc.) to try to trick the person they are trying to serve papers upon.

Hiring them will help take an enormous burden off your shoulders. Each has served documents for many years. Indeed, every agent can also help you with the following:
Yes, every individual must carry an Oklahoma process server license from the State of Oklahoma. Only residents of Oklahoma who are at least eighteen (18) years of age and who have a clean criminal background check are eligible to serve as one.
No, to qualify to serve court papers in the State of Oklahoma, one must first obtain a license to serve court papers and work as one. Any individual wishing to serve as a licensed official can find his/her application here.
No, someone who has previously secured a license prior to working as a process server in Edmond at a private detective agency in Edmond is not allowed to serve court papers in another state such as Arkansas or California where they have separate licensing requirements and procedures.
They will provide what is called an “affidavit of service” to file in with the courts. An affidavit of service will provide the court with basic information such as the following:
It is crucial that they complete the affidavit of process server thoroughly and completely. Failure to do so could make the result to where the judge tosses out the case due to insufficient service of process. Please do not let this happen to your legal case in Oklahoma.

By obtaining a small amount of information and for an extra fee, a process server and/or private detective at our private investigation agency can help increase your chances of locating the individual or business you are seeking to have them serve legal documents upon.
Every licensed person has exclusive access to information that others in the public are not legally allowed to obtain (i.e., social security numbers, dates of birth, drivers’ license numbers, etc.). He/ She can also access addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and a plethora of other vital information.
If anyone can find the person you need one to serve court papers upon, then it is a process server. Call (405) 593-3515 today and speak with one about how we can help you find the person you want served!
A licensed individual typically make four (4) attempts on service to one (1) defendant at one address in the Oklahoma City metropolitan/surrounding cities. The service fee they charge will include all mileage, notary, affidavit, printing up to nine (9) pages and the return postage. Additional pages of documents, addresses, will cost extra.
Whenever it comes to other cities and states, the prices vary. Also, the number of attempts they will make also varies but is rarely less than three (3) at one address. Indeed, most larger cities and towns include up to four (4) full attempts.
Due to the excessive costs of gasoline prices, insurance, car repairs and maintenance, etc., please do not expect any one to make an unlimited number of attempts for a set fee. That is a horrifically unreasonable and unfair expectation to put upon any expert.
Yes, they still must perform a significant amount of work, even if she/he/they cannot get good service upon the defendant/respondent. They still rack up a significant amount of vehicular mileage, incurs pricey gasoline expenses, and spends personal time pursuing your case on your behalf.
Inquiring if you “must still pay” is very insulting and outright offensive to them. That is like asking a lawyer if you must still pay, even though the judge or jury decided against you. In most cases with some exceptions for car accident cases, the answer is most certainly, “No!”
Yes, the service fee you will pay upfront is not for unlimited attempts. If one finds out on the first attempt that house turned out to be vacant or otherwise completes the standard number of attempts without success, then if you want an additional set of attempts from them you will have to pay an additional service fee for more attempts or for them to try a new address.
Sometimes persons a specialist who is working at our private investigation agency is trying to serve will do about anything to avoid service. Some of these frustrating tactics that some defendants use to avoid service can include, but are not limited to, the following:
Sadly, this list could go on and on. Every person has seen every trick in the book. Fortunately, one of the many tactics they can employ is to conduct what an Edmond, Oklahoma process server refers to as a “siege serve” of sorts.
They typically secure a retainer of approximately $89.45 per hour with a ten (10) hour minimum, including driving time, for wait/watch siege serves. This allows them to sit outside of the home or business of a person to wait for her/him/them to walk outside to come or go.
Eventually, if you hire one to wait long enough, the person you are trying to have one serve must leave or arrive at some point. Sometimes this happens right away, and our agent can serve the person quickly.
Of course, sometimes the person you have hired our officials to serve “castles up” and decides not to leave or to try to sneak out the back way. This tactic, of course, will take a lot longer and will cost you quite a bit more money.
However, eventually everyone must eat, and many must go to work, visit family, go to appointments, etc. Even if the person who has castled up orders food and has it delivered to her/his/their home, someone still must bring it inside. If the person is inside the home or frequents the home with any type of regularity, then hiring them for siege service makes perfect sense.
No, if you have hired an expert to serve court papers upon an individual, that person does not have to sign for the papers, take them into her/his/their hands, or agree to receive them. If they had to secure such approval to serve court documents to individuals, then no one would ever successfully serve 90% of the civil process that each client has entrusted one to serve.
Indeed, sometimes, the persons they are attempting to serve become belligerent or even violent. Every person has sadly experienced these types of scoundrels on many occasions, and sometimes they throw the court papers back at them, or they may shove the papers into their window as she/he/they is/are driving away or perhaps worse.
If you are reading this and are one of those belligerent scoundrels, please do not be a dick. Every official is a person, too, with hopes, dreams, and often families. They are just trying to do her/his/their job well and wants to be happy, too. No one is the one trying to sue you, so please be kind to them.
If you would not hurt your mail carrier, then do not hurt them. Please have empathy and be kind to every agent.
The cost to hire one to serve the person in, the speed of service with which you want one to serve the individual, the number of pages of documents you email them to print out, and your method of payment.
Thus, if you ask them to serve a one (1) page document to someone in a large town on a routine basis and pay with cash, check, or money order, it will cost much less than if you need them to go serve a one thousand (1,000) page document on a super rush basis and you pay with a debit or credit card.
If someone is foolish enough to try to hide from a licensed individual, then that person is only delaying the inevitable. The individual is so silly and is just on borrowed time. Eventually, they will find that person and will hunt her/him/them down. You can run, but you cannot hide!! :
In many instances, they may serve legal documents to an individual by leaving them at the residence of the person they are trying to serve. This individual could be the spouse, sibling, child, etc., of the person getting served. However, subservice by one comes with a few caveats.
Firstly, the person receiving the documents on behalf of the person that they are attempting to serve must reside with the defendant/respondent at the same address. Even if the person who receives the documents is a spouse or sibling, it does not count as good service by them, unless the individual resides there. Thus, they can serve the plumber that the homeowner is banging, but this only applies if the plumber has also moved in with the defendant/respondent.
Secondly, the person that they are leaving the papers with must be over fifteen-and-a-half (15 1/2) years old. This State of Oklahoma set this requirement, because the legislators did not want they are dropping the papers off with noticeably young persons who may not remember to give the court documents to the intended party.
Additionally, some states prohibit any process server or even the sheriff’s deputies from serving any of their court documents via substitute service. Texas is one of those states, and certain other states have that policy as well. Other states like California allow for substitute service by them, but only on the third attempt and only in conjunction with mailing a copy of the documents out to the defendant/respondent via regular U.S. Mail.
It is always essential that they are knowledgeable of the laws and process serving regulations, prior to serving court papers to anyone. That is why so many people choose to hire an expert, because our process servers are extremely knowledgeable and skilled!
Also, there are some types of documents that they may never serve personally, regardless of the state in which they originate. These four kinds of legal documents include the following:
Please hire a licensed individual to help serve your papers correctly the first time.
The minimum age they must have attained is eighteen (18) years of age.
As mentioned above, there are some types of documents that they may never serve personally, regardless of the state in which they originate. These four kinds of legal documents include the following:
The owners of our private investigation agency always encourage them to use some type of body camera or other recording device. One option is for them to leave her/his/their phone on the video recording mode on the dashboard of her/his/their vehicle and to point it toward the front door. That way if the defendant/respondent becomes violent or tries to deny service, they always have proof of what really happened.
Yes, those who has the desire, willingness, and proper licensure always to carry some form of protective equipment, be it a bulletproof vest, pepper gel that can shoot out a distance multiple times, a taser, or even a firearm. Some of these items require training and licensure for them to have the authority to carry and use them, while others do not.
