Process Serving FAQ
What is process serving in Australia?
Process serving is the formal delivery of legal documents—such as subpoenas, divorce papers, or court summons—to individuals involved in legal proceedings. It ensures they are properly notified. Documents are usually served in person by a process server, and proof is recorded with an affidavit of service. Correct service is essential for legal cases to proceed.
