Special Process Service Overview

We provide prompt, professional process service in Northern Virginia — Fairfax County, Prince William County, Loudoun County, Arlington County, Alexandria City.

Professional process service ensures that an individual involved in a legal matter has been served with all the legal documentation pertaining to an upcoming legal proceeding concerning them. Process serving gives the person being served the chance to respond to claims, summons or complaints brought upon them and ensures a smooth process of service. A process server’s job is to deliver these legal papers to the person being served, while adhering to service laws and hours.

There are various rules regarding the service of different documents. Certain documents must be personally served, especially court orders endorsed with a Power of Arrest or Penal Notice. It is the duty of the process server to know the rules and bring them to the attention of the individual being served.

Regular Service $85.00

Papers served anywhere in Northern Virginia within 72 hours. Three attempts for personal service. Affidavit preparation and mailing included.

Rush Service $120.00

Papers served same day anywhere in Northern Virginia. Two attempts for personal service. Affidavit preparation and mailing included.

Difficult Serves $95.00 per hour (usually 5.0 hrs. or less)

Process servers use necessary surveillance, investigative resources, law enforcement collaboration, and “baiting” techniques to increase the success rate of serving those evading. Clients can provide unique instructions to help guide the service. We also rely on information developed through a pre-serve investigation to determine when and where there is the highest probability of serving on the first attempt.

Papers to be served can be emailed to process@interprobe.net, mailed or sent overnight, or uploaded on the request form.

How long does it take us to serve someone?2022-01-14T12:49:52-05:00

The time it takes to serve a subject depends on a number of factors: How easy the person is to locate; if it is a business, has the business moved or is there someone available to accept service. We frequently need to make multiple attempts and we can’t force people to open the door. Our turnaround time for service is between 3 and 5 business days.

This database is highly secured, available only to pre-screened attorneys, investigators, process servers and similar individuals. This database is not available to the public and comprehensiveness and accuracy is extremely high, although care has to be taken to evaluate the data. Sometimes even the most thorough search isn’t fruitful. If this happens, we will work with you to discuss other options
