San Diego County Courts and California Service Rules

In San Diego, professional servers must be aware of both the local county court procedures and state laws to ensure that service is carried out legally.

San Diego County Superior Court Locations

From small claims actions to corporate filings to family law matters, courts serve different purposes, and their locations are spread across the city. It’s the duty of San Diego process servers to have a solid grasp of the specifics of each to avoid costly legal setbacks.

Registered Process Servers in San Diego County

Under California state law, San Diego County process servers must be registered if they serve regularly. That’s why all of our experienced professionals are registered and certified process servers.

Serving a Company or Registered Agent in California

Companies often have a registered agent for service of process, which can throw up many special challenges. Corporations often have multiple offices in large building complexes, and the papers can’t just be handed to anyone sitting at the desk at any office. Additionally, registered agents aren’t always located at the business address. Our servers know how to:

  • Find the right location
  • Identify and serve a registered agent or authorized person
  • Keep proper records, including obtaining and filing proof of service
  • Use approved methods for both
