Professional, Lawful & Documented Service Across the UK

Correct service of legal documents is fundamental to civil proceedings. Any error, delay, or lack of evidence can result in applications being challenged, adjourned, or struck out. At Discreet Private Investigators UK, we provide professional process serving services carried out lawfully, discreetly, and in full compliance with the Civil Procedure Rules (CPR).

We act for solicitors, law firms, businesses, and private individuals, delivering reliable service backed by clear evidence.

What Is Process Serving?

Process serving is the formal delivery of legal documents to an individual or entity involved in legal proceedings. These documents may include:

  • Claim Forms

  • Particulars of Claim

  • Court Orders

  • Injunctions

  • Divorce and family court papers

  • Statutory Demands

  • Witness Summons

  • Bankruptcy and insolvency documents

Proper service ensures that proceedings can move forward without procedural challenge.

Why Professional Process Serving Matters

Attempting service without experience often leads to:

  • Incorrect methods of service

  • Inadequate proof

  • Missed deadlines

  • Challenges by respondents

  • Costly delays

Professional process servers understand:

  • CPR requirements

  • Acceptable methods of service

  • Evidential standards expected by the courts

  • How to deal with evasive recipients lawfully

Our Process Serving Methodology

​

1. Instruction Review

We carefully review instructions, documents, deadlines, and any specific court requirements before attempting service.

2. Address & Intelligence Checks

Where necessary, we verify addresses, occupancy, and patterns of attendance to increase the likelihood of successful service.

3. Personal Service

We attempt personal service professionally and lawfully, without confrontation or escalation. All attempts are documented accurately.

4. Evasive or Difficult Service

If a recipient attempts to evade service, we can:

  • Conduct multiple timed attempts

  • Record evidential observations

  • Support applications for substituted service

  • Provide intelligence reports for solicitors

5. Proof of Service

Upon completion, we provide:

  • Certificate or Affidavit of Service

  • Full details of time, date, and method

  • Supporting notes where required

This documentation is suitable for court use.

​

Substituted & Alternative Service Support

​

Where personal service is not possible, we assist by providing evidence to support:

  • Substituted service applications

  • Alternative service methods

  • Judicial approval for non-standard service

Our reports are clear, factual, and professionally prepared.

Compliance & Professional Standards

All process serving is conducted in accordance with:

  • Civil Procedure Rules

  • Data Protection Act 2018

  • UK GDPR

We do not harass recipients, misrepresent ourselves, or act outside the law. Our role is procedural, neutral, and professional.
