Hire a Private Investigator to Handle your Court Papers
While there are reliable professional process service agencies, anyone who can pass a background check can register as a process server. Hiring a licensed private investigator ensures a level of expertise and professionalism that you won’t find with a random person who is only registered to serve process. Trying to find people who do not want to be found is one of the bigger challenges of process serving. Most private investigators have expertise in tracking down people whose whereabouts are unknown. Pl’s use a wide range of methods and techniques to find missing persons. When a person is located, a Pl can use various ways to get that person served court papers.

Can a Private Investigator serve Legal Documents just like a Registered Process Server?
Yes. California Business & Professions code section 22350(b) exempts California Private Investigators from registering as a process server. This is because it takes thousands of hours of investigative experience to become a private detective. There are no requirements to become a registered process server except passing a fingerprint check, getting a process server bond and paying a fee. That is why it is best to hire a private detective to serve your legal documents.
