Process Serving, Explained Clearly

Process serving is the delivery of legal documents to a named person or organisation, carried out in person where possible, with the details recorded so service can be confirmed. Marshall Process Service handles this across the UK.

We serve a wide range of documents, including court summons, statutory demands, non-molestation orders, divorce petitions, possession notices, witness summons and injunctions. If your document is not listed, contact us and we will confirm whether we can assist.

Yes. We offer standard, priority and same-day options. For urgent matters we prioritise your instruction and attend the same day where feasible, then confirm a realistic timescale based on the location.

We provide process serving support across the United Kingdom. For urgent, complex, rural or larger-area instructions, please get in touch and we will confirm availability and timescales.

On completion we provide documentation confirming how, when and where service was attempted or completed. If your matter requires a particular format, let us know and we will accommodate it where possible.

Costs depend on the service level, location and urgency of the instruction. Contact us with the details and we will provide clear information before you proceed.

Typically the documents to be served, the recipient's name and address, your preferred service level, and any deadline or court date. You can share these through our request form, by email or over the phone.
