HOW IT WORKS

Simple. Clear. Professional.

Zaria’s Process Serving makes it easy to submit, track, and complete your process service request. From document upload through final proof of service, each assignment is handled with professionalism, communication, and attention to detail.

STEP 1 — Select Your Service Level

Choose the service option that best fits your timeline:

Standard Service — First attempt generally within 2–3 business days.

Rush Service — First attempt generally within 24 hours.

Same-Day Service — First attempt the same business day for qualifying orders received with complete documents and payment before 11:00 AM.

Door-Hanger Authorization

If you are requesting physical process service, please state in your Service Instructions whether you authorize the use of a door hanger/service notice if an attempt is unsuccessful.

Example: “Door hanger authorized” or “Door hanger not authorized.”
Door hangers are provided at no additional charge when authorized. A door hanger is a notification method only and does not itself constitute personal service of process.

If authorization is not stated in the service instructions, Zaria's Process Serving may contact you for clarification before leaving a door hanger.

Service timelines begin only after all required documents, service information, and payment have been received.

STEP 2 — Submit Your Documents

Upload all documents that need to be served in PDF format.

Please provide the recipient’s full name, known service address, available contact information, applicable court deadlines, and any special service instructions.

Providing accurate and complete information helps prevent unnecessary delays.

STEP 3 — Complete Payment

Payment is required before service attempts begin unless alternative payment arrangements have been approved in writing.

Your selected service timeline begins once payment, documents, and required service information have been received.

Same-Day Service requires completed payment and documents before the applicable cutoff time.

STEP 4 — Service Attempts Begin

The process server will attempt service according to the selected service level and information provided.

Standard, Rush, and Same-Day Process Service generally include up to three attempts at the address provided, unless otherwise stated.

Service attempts are scheduled at the process server’s discretion based on location, recipient availability, assignment circumstances, deadlines, and applicable service requirements.

STEP 5 — Receive Status Updates

Clients receive updates regarding service activity and assignment status.

Attempt notes may include the date and time of the attempt, outcome, relevant observations, and other information appropriate to the assignment.

Additional communication may be provided when clarification or updated information is needed.

STEP 6 — Receive Completion Documents

Following successful service, the appropriate Proof of Service or Declaration of Service will be prepared as applicable.

If service cannot be completed after the included attempts, the assignment will be documented as unsuccessful and the client will receive the available attempt information.

Additional service attempts or a new service address may require a new service request or additional fee.

DIGITAL SERVICE — ELECTRONIC DELIVERY

Digital Service (eService) — $50

When electronic delivery is appropriate for your matter, Zaria's Process Serving can provide Digital Service through ServeManager.

Digital Service uses a secure recipient-specific electronic delivery process rather than simply sending legal documents as a standard email attachment.

Depending on the Digital Service workflow used, the recipient may receive a secure link, review the documents, electronically acknowledge receipt and/or waive physical service, and download the documents. ServeManager can record available activity such as link access, acknowledgment or waiver activity, and document downloads, and can generate a Digital Service Affidavit containing available transaction information.

Client responsibility: Before ordering Digital Service, you must independently confirm that electronic service or electronic delivery is permitted and appropriate for your particular case, court, jurisdiction, proceeding, or recipient.

Zaria's Process Serving does not provide legal advice, determine whether electronic service is legally sufficient, or guarantee that a court, agency, opposing party, attorney, or recipient will accept Digital Service.

More Than a Service Notice

A Zaria's Process Serving door-hanger service notice can do more than simply notify the intended recipient that a process server attempted to make contact.

When the notice includes the available QR-code option, the recipient may be able to use it to access an electronic delivery pathway through ServeManager. Depending on the Digital Service workflow, the recipient may be able to acknowledge receipt, affirmatively waive physical service where applicable, and obtain the documents electronically.

This can give the recipient an alternative to arranging another physical contact with the process server when electronic delivery is permitted and the recipient chooses to use it.

However, the availability of a QR code does not mean that electronic service is legally authorized for every case. The client is responsible for confirming that electronic service or electronic delivery is permitted under the applicable law, court rules, case requirements, or other governing requirements.

Understanding Service Attempts

A service attempt is a documented visit to the service address for the purpose of attempting delivery of the legal documents.

An unsuccessful attempt does not necessarily mean the assignment is complete. Depending on the service package and circumstances, additional attempts may be made at different dates or times.

Attempts are scheduled based on professional judgment, recipient information, location, access conditions, service deadlines, and other assignment-specific circumstances.

Purchasing process service pays for the professional service attempts and related documentation. Successful service cannot be guaranteed.

If service is unsuccessful after the included attempts, the client will receive documentation regarding the attempts made and the outcome.

Additional attempts, a new service address, or other requested services may require an additional fee.

Zaria’s Process Serving does not guarantee successful service and does not currently provide skip tracing.

Court & Jurisdiction Requirements

Service requirements can vary depending on the court, jurisdiction, document type, and case.

Clients are responsible for providing applicable deadlines and any special service instructions supplied by their attorney, court, or issuing jurisdiction.

Zaria’s Process Serving follows applicable service requirements and client-provided instructions but does not provide legal advice, determine legal strategy, or prepare legal documents.

If an assignment involves special affidavit, notarization, filing, or jurisdiction-specific requirements, those requirements should be identified when the order is submitted.

Need More Than Process Serving?

Zaria’s Process Serving also offers select legal support services, including e-filing, physical court filing, public record retrieval, legal document courier services, courtesy copy delivery, and document support services where available.


Availability and pricing may vary depending on location, court, agency, document volume, and requested turnaround time.

Clear Communication From Start to Finish

Clients should not have to wonder what is happening with their assignment.

Zaria’s Process Serving is committed to timely communication and clear status updates throughout the service process.

For the fastest response, service requests should be submitted through our online ordering system. General questions may be submitted through our website contact form or by email.
