Proven Process Serving and Document Delivery Experts available across Australia

Process serving, also known as specialist document delivery, is the action of delivering legal documents to a specific person who is; to appear in court; reply to a court summons; to otherwise engage in legal council or; expected to take a specific course of action.

Effective process serving usually involves a great deal more than simply popping a letter into an envelope and having it mailed to the people in question. Frequently, the people receiving the documents don’t want to read them, let alone do as the documents request.

As such, it can be incredibly difficult, time-consuming and expensive for companies, government organisations and legal firms to track down recipients and ensure that they have, in fact, received and read the documents being sent to them.

Precise Investigation boasts thirty years’ as a leader in the Australian private investigation industry, which coupled with our unparalleled discretion, location capabilities, surveillance and specialist private investigators, makes for one of the most effective means of process serving and document delivery in the country.

While we provide professional process serving and document delivery services to every Australian state, it’s important to note that each individual state has its own set of rules, regulations and legislations that define how those services are carried out. With that, we highly recommend that you touch base with our offices to best understand how we’ll go about serving your documents and what the potential outcomes may involve.

What Documents Do We Serve?

While process serving is generally tied in with court cases and the law, Precise Investigation is able to deliver and retrieve a wide range of documents on behalf of debtors, financial institutions, courts, government bodies and many more as part of our specialist document delivery service.

With that being said, below we have listed a summary of the most common document types our private investigators are asked to serve or deliver:

• Writs – a “writ” is the technical term for a court order given in writing. Precise Investigation has delivered thousands of writs to unwilling recipients across the country.
• Subpoenas – a subpoena is a type of writ, written up to inform a person that they are expected to testify before a court.
• Complaint – unlike the generic term, legally a “complaint” is a formal legal document that describes the details of a claim being made by one party against another. When someone is sued, a complaint is issued to them before they appear in court and our private investigators have made that process far more efficient for our clients.
• Summons: a court summons is a piece of paper, asserting the power of the court, that tells a person that he or she is being sued and that the court will hear and determine the outcomes of the case. In short, it’s the document that commands a person that to appear in court at a specific time and date. Understandably, many people will avoid reading court summonses as they inevitably involve the recipient going to jail or receiving heavy fines.
