Licensed civil process servers across Florida

When a summons or subpoena has to reach the right person, the right way, service of process is not a place to gamble. First Serve Process Solutions handles service of process for law firms, property managers, businesses, and self represented litigants throughout Florida, and we treat every document as if a deadline depends on it, because it usually does.

Our Florida process servers are licensed and court appointed in the circuits where they work, from the 13th Judicial Circuit in Hillsborough County to the 11th in Miami Dade. Each attempt is logged with GPS coordinates, time stamps, and photographs, and every completed serve is backed by a court compliant return of service that stands up in court.

If a defendant can't be found at the address on file, our in house skip tracing team locates a current address, so your case keeps moving instead of waiting on a bad one. For deadline critical filings, ask about rush process serving anywhere in the state.

Servers who know Florida's courts, and its neighborhoods

Process serving in Florida is local work. Our servers live in the communities they cover, across Central Florida, Tampa Bay, South Florida, and North Florida, know the county clerk procedures in their circuits, and know when and where attempts actually succeed.

That local knowledge is why we consistently complete difficult serves, and why law firms across the state route their summons, subpoenas, and evictions through one dispatcher at First Serve. Whether you need service in Orange, Seminole, Osceola, Miami Dade, Broward, Hillsborough, Duval, or Pinellas County, you work with a single point of contact from intake to affidavit.

Florida process serving questions

Who can legally serve process in Florida?

Florida requires service by a sheriff, or by a certified or court appointed process server per Florida Statutes Chapter 48. All of our servers hold the appointments required in the circuits where they serve, from Orlando and Tampa to Miami and Jacksonville.

How many attempts do you make?

Standard service includes multiple attempts at varied times of day, including evenings and weekends, before we recommend next steps like skip tracing or substitute service.

What proof do I receive for court?

A court compliant return of service documenting who was served, when, where, and how, with a notarized affidavit when applicable, and GPS and photo evidence retained on file.

What if the person avoids service?

Evasive defendants are our specialty. We combine varied time attempts, stakeouts, and skip tracing, and we document everything needed if the court permits substitute or alternative service under Chapter 48.

How much does a process server cost in Florida?

Cost depends on the county, the number of documents, and how quickly you need service. Standard, rush, and same day serves are each priced clearly up front, contact us with your address and deadline and we'll confirm a flat quote before any attempt is made.

Do you serve papers in every Florida county?

Yes. We offer Florida wide service through our curated professional network, including the major metros of Orlando, Tampa, Miami, Jacksonville, St. Petersburg, and Fort Lauderdale.

How fast can you serve documents?

Standard service typically sees a first attempt within 24 to 48 hours of receiving your documents, and rush or same day service is available statewide when a filing deadline is close.
