what is process serving?

Process serving
Professional Process Serving
Process serving—also called “service of process”—is a critical step in the legal system. It ensures that every party in a legal matter is properly notified, protecting the principles of fairness and due process.
A professional process server delivers important legal documents — such as summonses, subpoenas, complaints, divorce papers, and restraining orders — directly to the intended recipient. This face-to-face delivery ensures the individual is aware of the action and has the opportunity to respond, keeping your case on track.
We understand the provincial rules and court requirements for proper service. By following these procedures precisely, we make sure your service is legally valid, avoiding costly delays or rejections. Whether your matter is urgent or routine, we deliver quickly, accurately, and professionally.
Need paperwork notarized or commissioned?
We are 100% Mobile offering Commissioner for Oaths & Notary Public**
**Notary Public – Section 4(1) Limitation
We hold an official appointment as a Notary Public under Section 4(1) of the Notaries and Commissioners Act (Alberta).
Under this designation, our Notary Public authority can only be exercised in connection with the business of Calgary Process Serving & Investigations Inc.
This means:
We may notarize documents only when they relate directly to the legal support, process serving, or investigative services provided by our company.
For other types of notarization (e.g., unrelated personal or commercial matters), we offer Commissioner for Oaths services if the document is for use within Alberta.
Why This Matters
Section 4(1) is a specific appointment that links our notarial powers to our business operations.
If your documents are unrelated to our core business services but still require witnessing or sworn declarations, we can assist you through our stand-alone Commissioner for Oaths appointment.
