What is Process Serving in Canterbury?
Process serving in Canterbury is the formal delivery of legal documents, carried out in line with the Civil Procedure Rules (CPR). Our experienced Canterbury process servers act for solicitors, businesses, private clients, and the courts, ensuring documents are served correctly and proof of service is provided. Where recipients are evasive, we use tracing methods or apply for substituted service to complete delivery in full compliance with the rules.
How Our Canterbury Process Serving Works
Standard Procedure
- Receipt & Confirmation – As soon as we receive your documents, we email you confirmation of safe receipt.
- Case Management – All details are securely logged in our client management system, with digital copies created where needed.
- Assignment – Your instruction is allocated to our nearest available Canterbury process server for speed and efficiency.
- First Attempt – We aim to carry out the first visit within 24 hours, if using our Standard Service.
- Multiple Visits – If service cannot be completed immediately, up to three attempts are made at varied times of day.
- Client Updates – You receive real-time progress reports throughout the process.
- Further Instructions – Any issues are referred back to you promptly for guidance.

What Happens Next
- Successful Service – Once good service is achieved, we prepare all required paperwork (including swearing, if necessary). Hard copies can be posted, or digital copies supplied for speed.

Our Process Serving Approach
We take a structured and proactive approach to every instruction, ensuring the highest likelihood of successful service.
1. Instruction & Review
We review the details of the case, including the subject’s address, deadlines, and any known risks or sensitivities.
2. Attendance & Attempts
Our process server attends the address promptly. Where necessary, we make multiple attempts at different times of day, including evenings and weekends.
3. Evidence Gathering
We document each attempt carefully, using time-stamped notes and, where appropriate, GPS verification.
4. Successful Service
Once service is effected, we confirm immediately and provide a formal statement of service.
Our goal is always to achieve service as quickly as possible while maintaining full compliance with legal procedures.
Dealing with Evasive Subjects
In many cases, individuals actively attempt to avoid being served. This can include refusing to answer the door, providing false information, or frequently changing locations.
Our experienced process servers use a range of techniques to manage these situations, including:
- Attending at varied times of day
- Observing patterns of activity at the address
- Verifying occupancy before attempting service
- Liaising with clients where alternative strategies may be required
Where necessary, we can also support the instruction with additional investigative services such as people tracing to confirm a current address.
Same-Day & Urgent Process Serving
We offer urgent and same-day process serving in Canterbury where deadlines are tight. This is particularly important for:
- Time-sensitive court proceedings
- Statutory demands nearing expiry
- Urgent injunctions
- Last-minute legal instructions
Our team can mobilise quickly, ensuring documents are served without unnecessary delay.
Proof of Service
Once documents have been served, we provide a formal statement of service suitable for use in court. This includes:
- Date and time of service
- Location of service
- Method of service
- Details of the individual served
Where required, we can also provide additional supporting evidence, including attendance logs and GPS verification.
Integrated Tracing & Process Serving
One of the key advantages of working with Bluemoon Investigations is our ability to combine people tracing with process serving.
If the subject’s current address is unknown or uncertain, we can:
- Conduct a trace to identify a verified address
- Confirm occupancy
- Proceed directly to service
This integrated approach reduces delays and increases the likelihood of successful service on the first attempt.

Frequently Asked Questions – Process Server Canterbury
How much does process serving cost?
Process serving fees typically start from a fixed rate, depending on the location and urgency of the instruction. Additional attempts, out-of-hours attendance, or complex cases may affect the final cost. We always provide a clear quotation before proceeding.
How quickly can documents be served?
In many cases, we can attempt service within 24 hours of instruction. Urgent and same-day service options are also available in Canterbury, depending on availability and the nature of the instruction.
What happens if the person is not at the address?
If the individual is not present, we will make further attempts at different times of day. This may include early morning, evening, or weekend visits to maximise the chances of successful service.
How many attempts will you make?
We typically make multiple attempts as part of our standard service. The exact number will depend on the circumstances and any instructions provided. Additional attempts can be arranged if required.
Can you serve documents in the evening or at weekends?
Yes. We regularly carry out process serving outside standard working hours, as this often increases the likelihood of successful service.
What proof do I receive once documents are served?
You will receive a formal statement of service confirming when, where, and how the documents were served. This is suitable for submission to the court.
What if the person is avoiding service?
We are experienced in dealing with evasive individuals. By varying attendance times and using investigative techniques, we significantly improve the chances of successful service.
Can you trace someone before serving documents?
Yes. If you do not have a confirmed address, we can carry out a people trace first and then proceed directly to service once the address has been verified.
Is process serving legal?
Yes. Process serving is a lawful activity carried out in accordance with the Civil Procedure Rules. We ensure all service is compliant and properly documented.
Is my instruction confidential?
Absolutely. All instructions are handled in strict confidence, and we take data security and client privacy seriously at every stage.
