The Process Server (TPS) How Fast Can You Get Legal Documents Served in Scottsdale?

When legal deadlines are tight, speed matters.

Whether you need to serve a summons, subpoena, eviction notice, or restraining order, time can be the difference between winning and losing a case.

So, how fast can a process server in Scottsdale deliver?

Here’s what you need to know.

1. Standard Process Serving Time: 3 to 7 Days

Most Scottsdale process servers complete routine service within a week.

What’s Included in Standard Service?

First attempt within 2-3 days of receiving the documents.
Multiple attempts (if needed) over 5-7 days.
Affidavit of Service completed after successful delivery.

If the recipient is easily located, service is often completed in just 1-2 attempts.

Best for: Non-urgent legal documents with flexible deadlines.

2. Rush Service: 24 to 48 Hours

Need documents served ASAP? Many Scottsdale process servers offer rush service.

Benefits of Rush Service

First attempt within 24 hours.
Prioritized over standard serves.
Multiple attempts in rapid succession.

Rush service costs extra but ensures priority handling.

Best for: Last-minute court filings, urgent restraining orders, or eviction cases.

3. Same-Day & Emergency Service: Within Hours

For extreme urgency, some Scottsdale process servers offer same-day service.

What You Get with Same-Day Service

Immediate response (within hours).
Multiple same-day attempts, if necessary.
Direct communication with the process server for status updates.

Same-day service is ideal for restraining orders, emergency legal actions, and time-sensitive filings.

Expect premium pricing, but it guarantees the fastest results.

4. Factors That Can Affect Response Time

Several factors influence how quickly documents get served.

What Impacts Service Speed?

Location of the recipient – Gated communities or secure buildings may slow things down.
Recipient cooperation – If they’re evasive, extra attempts may be needed.
Time of day – Late-night or early-morning serves may be required.
Legal requirements – Some documents have specific service rules.

If the recipient is actively avoiding service, process servers may need to use skip tracing and surveillance.

The more details you provide, the faster service can be completed.

5. The Process Server You Choose Matters

Not all Scottsdale process servers operate at the same speed.

What Sets Top-Tier Process Servers Apart?

Fast first attempts (often within 24-48 hours).
GPS tracking & real-time updates.
Multiple service attempts (day and night).
Legally compliant affidavits of service.

Choosing a professional and responsive process server ensures your legal documents are served efficiently.

Excellent work. Right to the point with instructions what to send them and what their procedure was. Had my papers served right after the holiday weekend and a copy of the declaration was emailed to me and one was mailed led to the court. No surprises. I’d recommend them to others. Oh! Before I forget, what I like the most was that they answered the phone both times I called. This is rare nowadays.

I cannot stress how excellent this process server was. When the sheriff's office told me it could take weeks to months to service, I immediately called these guys and they got it done the next day. Cannot tell you how safe i feel now thanks to this wonderful company. Thank you!

The Process Server was outstanding. They responded quickly to our request, including making sure our documents were served the next morning. Their customer service was excellent and really compassionate about our situation. They quickly uploaded proof that the documents were served to AZPoint. I would definitely use them again! Thank you!

Justin is the office staff member that did the coordination and John is the staff member that performed the actual document serving.Both super great individuals. Both professional. Both communicated extremely well. I received a follow up phone call from Justin (after the serve) to ensure I filed my paperwork with the court (given that this was a rush serve situation). I also received a confirmation call from John after the serve was completed, informing me how the serve was received.I would definitely use them again! You have to be careful what process servers you use. These guys are really good and professional. —Todd

Tried using a different process server prior to them to save some cash, but the other company struggled every step of the way from the very beginning. Decided to reach out to this company and they handled everything very smoothly and were able to get my person served quick. Communicated along the way, answered all of my questions and overall made me feel much more at ease over the whole situation. Will be using them more in the future and have already recommended them to anyone who needs a process server

They were amazing! And when they say fast service they mean FAST! Process server John was proficient and got the job done in less than a week. I communicated with Justin the whole way and he was amazing on letting me know what steps I should take next! I really appreciate them and will for sure use them if I ever need any paperwork served!
