Process Serving Questions, Answered.

No. Papers Delivered is a private process serving company in Troy, Michigan. We are not a court, a courthouse, a clerk of the court, a government agency or a law firm, and this number does not reach any court. We serve legal documents and return a signed, notarized affidavit of service. We do not schedule hearings, give legal advice, report case status, or accept filings. For hearing dates, case status, court records or filings, contact the court directly through the Michigan court directory, or find your court on our Michigan courts page.

Process serving is the legal delivery of court documents to a named party. A neutral third party hands over the papers, then documents the delivery. Michigan courts require this step so the recipient receives proper notice before a case moves forward. Documents include summons, complaints, subpoenas, and eviction notices.

Michigan law allows any competent adult who is not a party to the case to serve most documents. Courts expect a neutral, professional server who follows the rules of service. Our team serves across Michigan every day and documents each attempt for the court.

Yes, we offer same-day and rush service across Metro Detroit. Standard serves often begin the same day we receive your documents. Speed depends on the address, the recipient's schedule, and traffic. We serve days, evenings, and weekends, so we reach people when they are actually home. Call (248) 268-0097 to start.

A completed serve includes a notarized affidavit of service, the signed document your court accepts as evidence the papers were delivered. Audio-video documentation of the delivery, GPS coordinates, and a time-stamped photo are available if you want extra evidence. Together these records show exactly who was served, where, and when. Ask about your matter and we'll confirm what's included.

Evasive recipients are common, and we plan for them. Our standard service includes three attempts across different days, evenings, and weekends. If the person still avoids service, we run skip tracing to locate a current address or workplace. When you need added proof, GPS and time-stamped records can document each attempt to support a motion for alternate service when the court allows.

We serve Macomb, Oakland, Wayne, and Washtenaw counties every day from our Troy office. We also cover all 83 Michigan counties statewide. No matter where your recipient lives or works, we can reach them and document the serve. Give us the address and we confirm coverage right away.

Yes. Michigan is a one-party consent state, so our server can legally record the delivery. When audio-video is added to your serve, the recording captures the moment of service as objective proof. Judges and attorneys value this record because it shows the serve as it actually happened. We store the footage securely and provide it with your affidavit.

Yes. We handle personal protection orders, evictions, and other urgent matters with priority. Eviction work covers notices to quit, demands for possession, and writs of restitution. PPOs often need fast, careful delivery, and our team treats them as time-sensitive. Every urgent serve is documented with a notarized affidavit of service, and added proof such as audio-video or GPS is available on request.

Starting takes one step. Call (248) 268-0097 or email serve@papersdelivered.com with your documents and the recipient's address. You can also request a process server through our contact form. We confirm the details, quote the service, and begin promptly. We serve 24/7/365, so your request never waits for business hours.

Our work is carried out by trained Michigan process servers, and every attempt is documented to the standard the courts expect. Law firms rely on our documentation because it holds up in court. We carry that standard into every delivery, large or small.

Our process servers are located at 3846 Rochester Rd, Suite 21, Troy, MI 48083. We serve all municipalities in Macomb, Oakland, Wayne, and Washtenaw Counties, as well as throughout the entire State of Michigan.

Yes. Service is carried out by trained Michigan process servers in accordance with MCR 2.105, the Michigan Court Rule governing service of process. Every completed serve returns a notarized affidavit of service.

We serve summons and complaints, subpoenas, eviction notices, writs of possession, personal protection orders, divorce papers, small claims documents, garnishments, and any other court-issued documents that require formal service under Michigan law.

Yes. When an address is out of date or the person cannot be found, locating them is part of the serve, not a separate job. We use verified databases, investigative tools and field research to find a current address or workplace, then serve the papers and document every attempt in the notarized affidavit.
