*Skip tracing** and other **additional services**—such as extra attempts, stakeouts, or serving in complex situations—**are billed separately** and are *not* included in the rush fee, If you require skip tracing to locate an evasive individual, this service will have its own fee, which is independent of whether you select standard or rush service. The rush fee specifically covers faster processing and does not bundle in ancillary services like skip tracing.

This service acts as your business’s formal legal contact, protecting against missed filings, unanswered lawsuits, or administrative penalties by guaranteeing timely notice of all critical documents. Receive legal documents and government notices on your company's behalf. These documents include service of process (such as lawsuits, subpoenas, and court summons), tax notifications, and regulatory correspondence. 

Standard service fee typically includes **3–5 attempts** at the specified address for service of process. This range is standard for both standard and rush services, ensuring multiple diligent efforts to complete service or meet legal diligence requirements. The exact number may vary based on local rules or specific case needs, but **3–5 attempts** is the typical inclusion. **Standard service:** The first attempt is typically made **within 5 business days** of order placement.

Rush fee  is an additional charge for expedited service, but the types of legal documents included under the rush fee are the same as those covered by the standard fee—such as summonses, subpoenas, notices, writs, garnishments, and other common legal documents. There is **no extra charge for specific types of documents** simply because you select rush service; the rush fee covers the same document types as standard service, with the only difference being the speed of the first attempt. **Rush service:** The first attempt is expedited and typically occurs **within 2 business days** of order placement.

 **Advanced or extended searches:** If the subject is particularly difficult to locate, requiring deeper investigation, proprietary database access, or manual verification, the skip tracing service may move from a flat or hourly rate to additional charges for time, resources, or data access.

**Batch skip tracing:** When multiple records are traced simultaneously (e.g., for a portfolio of debtors), charges may be assessed on a per-record basis, which is separate from standard hourly or flat rates.

**Custom or a la carte searches:** If you need specific types of information confirmed (such as vehicle registration, utility records, or employment verification), these targeted searches may incur extra fees beyond the basic skip trace.

**Expenses and out-of-pocket costs:** Travel, on-site visits, or the purchase of specialized reports and data from third parties can result in additional charges on top of the hourly rate.

**Enhanced or technology-driven skip tracing:** Use of premium software, access to proprietary databases, or expedited (rush) skip tracing services can all add to the base cost.

**Legal or regulatory compliance requirements:** If the skip trace must comply with particular legal standards, privacy protections, or reporting obligations, the added administrative burden may increase the fee.

 If you need a process server to retrieve documents from a court or another location before service, this **document retrieval** is typically billed as a separate service. If you require this retrieval to be performed on a rush basis (for example, same-day or next-day), **an additional rush fee may be applied to the retrieval service itself**, just as it is for the main service of process.
