Frequently Asked Questions — Bellgor Process Servers
A process server delivers legal documents including applications, motions, notices, subpoenas, and statements of claim. After service, we provide a sworn Affidavit of Service as proof accepted by Ontario courts.
Professional process servers know the Ontario Rules of Civil Procedure and ensure service is done properly, with accurate documentation and records. We reduce risk and ensure courts accept the service.
We serve a wide range of court documents, such as Statements of Claim, Notices of Motion, subpoenas, Plaintiff’s claims, defence pleadings, and other civil, family, and small claims materials.
Some documents may have restrictions on who may serve them. When required, our trained servers handle the service in compliance with Ontario procedural rules.
Process is usually served at the recipient’s home or place of business. If evasive or unavailable there, service may be attempted at alternate locations consistent with legal requirements.
The primary method is personal hand delivery. When unavailable, substituted service may be used, such as leaving documents with another adult and completing necessary follow-up steps.
Timelines vary case by case. Most service attempts occur within one to three tries, depending on availability and evasive behavior. Detailed attempts help support alternate service if needed.
An Affidavit of Service is a sworn statement confirming when, where, and how legal documents were served. It must be sworn before a Commissioner of Oaths and is required to prove proper service in court.
In some civil or small claims cases, costs associated with service may be recoverable if included in your claim and allowed by the court.
If service is unsuccessful after multiple attempts, we document attempts and can assist in motions for alternative service methods such as mail, posting to the door, or other court-approved methods.
