These apply to every order. Reviewing them now saves time later.
Each person or business is a separate order and a separate fee. There's no limit on how many you submit.
If documents exceed 50 pages, printing is $0.20 per page for the entire document, paid before the proof is released.
This applies even if the person avoids service or can't be found. Cancel before attempts begin and a $35 cancellation fee applies.
Unless you choose On-Demand, attempts happen on random days at random times. On-Demand includes one guaranteed scheduled attempt.
First attempt is within 5 business days. Completing all three attempts can take additional time depending on volume.
Severe weather may delay attempts. We prioritize server safety and resume as soon as it's safe.

A dedicated surveillance service for evasive individuals. A server is positioned with a view of the address for a scheduled window, engages anyone arriving or leaving, and completes a single attempt at the close of the stakeout.
Stakeouts require advance planning and coordination and are not automatically included. Currently available in Maryland, Northern Virginia, and Washington, DC. We usually recommend standard service first, since it offers more flexibility.
Additional documentation for court use, tailored to your case. This can include multiple photographs, time and location verification, and a more detailed written report beyond the standard proof of service.
After you submit your order, your confirmation email will reference these options so you can request any you need at that point.
