Having a Good Address to Attempt at:
Many of our clients have and thus provide our process server in Guthrie, Oklahoma with a valid address to try at, and that works great. Other clients do not know the whereabouts of the defendant/respondent or think they have a good address. However, the decent address they thought they had turns out to be vacant, the defendant/respondent has moved, etc., and the client needs assistance from our process servers in Guthrie, OK at our private investigation agency in Guthrie, OK with nationwide skip tracing.

For obvious reasons, any client sending ten (10) pages or more to print out will incur a small, nominal fee to help cover the associated costs of toner/ink, paper, time, etc.
Whether the Client Wants Rush or Routine Service:
Many of our process serving in Guthrie, OK clients need our process server in Guthrie at our Guthrie private investigation agency to serve the defendant/respondent on a routine basis. This means that a process server will begin the first attempt on service within three (3) to seven (7) business days. Sometimes our Guthrie process servers at our Guthrie private investigation agency may start it sooner, but they will never begin it later than that time.
Other clients of our private investigation agency in Guthrie require service of process from one of our process servers in Guthrie on an expedited basis. The case and matter at hand are both very urgent, and our process servers can, if available and for an added fee, often drop what they are doing and start the service of process that very minute.
Our private investigation agency in Guthrie, Oklahoma charges this extra fee, because our process servers in Guthrie, OK at our private investigation agency in Guthrie, OK must put the other clients’ serves on the backburner and do the ones who have urgent matters and who can pay the expedited fee first.

Domestication/Filing in of the Initial Court Documents
Sometimes clients need our process servers in Guthrie, Oklahoma at our private detective agency in Guthrie, Oklahoma to file in documents at a court clerk’s office and pay the filing fee, prior to serving the legal papers.

Filing documents takes extra time and costs money to print out extra copies. Thus, whenever our clients require our process servers in Guthrie, OK at our private investigation agency in Guthrie, OK to file in/domesticate court documents/subpoenas prior to serving them, it is a service we provide but just takes more time and effort and thus requires more money.
Witness/Testimony Fees/Document Production Fees:

This fee helps cover the costs of time and driving that witnesses incur when they must travel to and from a courthouse location.

Other clients decide not to have a process server in Guthrie, OK at our private detective agency in Guthrie, OK add that in, and the owners of our Guthrie, OK private detective agency leave that up to the individual clients themselves.
Remoteness of the Area/Number of Process Servers in the Area:
Some towns and cities are so far away in the remotest areas of the land, while others have larger populations and thus more process servers in Oklahoma at private investigation agencies in Oklahoma to do process serving in Oklahoma. As such, towns with larger populations cost less to conduct process serving in Oklahoma in, because the number of process servers is more abundant and their distance to the locations of service tend to be much closer.

There are many types of service of process in the field of process serving in Oklahoma. The following is a list of the ways in which a plaintiff/petitioner may effect service of process upon a defendant/respondent:
Personal Service:
This type of service can take place when a process server in Guthrie at a private detective agency in Guthrie or a sheriff’s deputy places the court documents directly into the hands of the defendant/respondent, or when a plaintiff/petitioner mails out the legal documents via certified mail with a return receipt and the defendant/petitioner signs for them. Courts prefer personal service, because it ensures that the defendant/petitioner has the legal papers directly in her/his/their hands. Every state accepts personal service as an effective and valid method of service of process.
Substitute Service:
This is also a way that a process server in Guthrie, Oklahoma at a private detective agency in Guthrie, Oklahoma or a sheriff’s deputy can achieve valid service of process in many states. Substitute service is when process servers in Guthrie and sheriffs’ deputies give court documents for service upon an individual to someone else living at the home who is over the age of fifteen-and-a-half. Substitute of service upon an individual must occur at the residence where the respondent/defendant normally resides. Courts do not permit substitute service upon a defendant/respondent at any location other than her/his/their home.
Substitute service upon a business occurs when a process server in Guthrie, OK at a private detective agency in Guthrie, OK or sheriff’s deputy delivers the legal documents for a business to a legal secretary, office manager, etc., of a business at the business, instead of the registered agent herself/himself/themselves.
Not all states accept substitute service as legal process. Texas prohibits process servers and sheriffs’ deputies from serving any of their court documents via substitute service, while other states like California permit it on the third attempt at service and only when the process server in Guthrie, Oklahoma at a private investigation agency in Guthrie, Oklahoma simultaneously mails a copy to the defendant’s/respondent’s home by U.S. Mail as well.
Posting/Nail and Mail:
When serving summonses and petitions for forcible entry and detainer, also known as eviction documents, the State of Oklahoma always allow a process server in Guthrie, OK at a private detective agency in Guthrie to simply post the pre-eviction documents, commonly known as notices to pay or quit, on the front door of the evictee’s residence/office building.
When it comes to the summonses and petitions for forcible entry and detainer themselves, courts in Oklahoma do permit process servers in Guthrie at private investigation agencies in Guthrie to also post them to the front door and mail a copy to the defendant/respondent via certified mail if the process server in Guthrie, OK at a private investigation agency in Guthrie, OK or sheriff’s deputy is unable to achieve personal service or substitute service upon the defendant/respondent. However, doing so only entitles the plaintiff/property owner to gain possession of the property and no monetary damages.
In some circumstances, judges may allow process servers in Guthrie, Oklahoma from private detective agencies in Guthrie, Oklahoma and sheriffs’ deputies to simply post non-eviction documents onto the front door of a facility for good service upon a defendant/respondent, when the petitioner/plaintiff has proven to the judge that she/he/they has/had made every other possible effort to serve the individual and that the respondent/defendant in the case likely lives there and will probably receive the legal documents.
The owners of our private investigation agency in Guthrie would like to note that most judges will only permit posting/nail and mail in non-eviction cases on very rare occasions, and some never will.
Service by Publication:
Sometimes defendants/respondents simply do not want the petitioner/plaintiff to find them and avoid service at all costs. Despite the petitioner’s/respondent’s best efforts and those of their process servers in Guthrie, OK at private investigation agencies in Guthrie, OK and/or the sheriff’s deputies’ efforts to complete good service, it just proves unable to happen. In this instance, such as in divorce cases, judges may allow for service by publication, whereby the petitioner/respondent places a notice of the case in an official/legal journal or paper like The Journal Record to complete good service.
Service by publication usually takes months to complete, as the judge will likely require the petitioner/plaintiff to post the notice multiple times. Courts often consider service by publication to be “service of process by last resort”.
