Process Serving & Affidavits In Wollongong & Australia
Process Serving
As a process server, our job is to ensure the delivery of a document to a specific individual or organisation. Process Serving is required for a variety of reasons. Generally, it involves the service of a court issued document but often our clients request letters or notices to be served by hand. The nature of the service is determined by the type of document to be delivered. Some documents require personal service, others do not. Most documents must be served within specific timeframes. The last date for service of a particular document is determined by the nature of the paperwork, the issuing court (or authority), the court issued date and the next court date, if applicable. Legislation governs the times and days that we can contact people for service of these documents. We can offer the service of documents Australia wide. We continue attempts to serve until we get a result by way of service, confirmed clear out or expiration of time.
When providing us with process serving instructions, it is always helpful to give us as much information as possible. This includes an individual’s working hours, nature of work or any contact numbers if known. Any additional information assists us in determining the best hours for contact and increases our chances of serving the document expediently and returning the completed Affidavit of Service in the shortest possible time.
We accept instructions via our post office box or email (if appropriate).
Affidavits Of Service
Once a process service has been completed, the serving agent swears, under oath, the details regarding the service. This document is witnessed by a Justice of the Peace and is referred to as an ’Affidavit of Service’. The affidavit is then sent to the court to prove that service has taken place and that the document has been delivered. This can assist the court in such things as determining that individuals required to attend court for a specific case have been notified and that documents required for a hearing will be produced. It also assists creditors to move to the next stage of the recovery process if required. The affidavit will be returned to you once service is complete.
