Client responsibility
File & Serve does not give legal advice
The client must determine the correct documents, recipient, permitted method, deadline, court or tribunal, and proof requirement. File & Serve does not select forms, interpret rules, or advise on legal strategy.
Completion depends on access, recipient availability, the accuracy of supplied information, applicable requirements, safety, weather, and other circumstances.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
What documents can you serve?
A request may be submitted with the final documents and complete instructions. File & Serve does not decide whether a document is legally sufficient or which service method is required.
How many attempts are included?
Review the current service plan and pricing page. The selected plan and request record govern the assignment; city pages do not change it.
Do you provide an affidavit?
A commissioned affidavit may be available when File & Serve completed service and can prepare it from its own factual service record.
How do I calculate travel?
Use the destination postal-code calculator on the existing request page. It remains the only operational distance calculation on the site.
