Bespoke Costing for Serving Documents
Once we have established your requirements for serving documents, we quote on a fixed fee basis.
The quickest way for this to happen is for you to complete the online quotation form.
It is impossible to say how much a serve will cost without knowing your needs. Once we understand your requirements we can fix the cost according to scope.
Overseas serves – such as China – will include disbursements but we charge you these at cost and will estimate from the outset. We use a Commissioner of Oaths for witnessing affidavits. There are no translation or other costs for this service. We can arrange a Notary Public or Solicitor to witness affidavits, but they will cost significantly more than the Commissioner of Oaths
DISCOUNTS
Discounts are offered for bulk orders. If you become a regular client, we will give preferential rates for serving documents.
