Frequently Asked Questions
Typically, the number of attempts falls between 4 and 6. However, the emphasis is on the quality, strategy, and lawfulness of each attempt rather than just the count.
If you desire more attempts beyond the typical range, they can be accommodated. However, additional charges will apply.
If your case demands immediate action or is time-sensitive, the Rush service level is the best choice. The first attempt will be made within 24 hours of order placement, and subsequent attempts will be made daily until all attempts are exhausted.
The Scheduled/Stakeout service level is a good option to request attempts at a specific date/time or time window.
The typical turnaround time for most Proofs of Service is four business days after the date of service. Proofs of Service that are required to be notarized may take longer to complete.
