Civil Processin FAQs
How long does civil process service typically take?
The timeline depends on the type of document, the quality of the information provided, and the availability of the individual being served. In many cases, successful service can be completed within a few days. More complex cases — such as when a person has moved, is evasive, or works irregular hours — may require additional attempts. IPS LLC keeps clients updated throughout the process so you always know the status of your case.
What happens if the person cannot be located?
If an address is outdated or the individual has moved, IPS LLC may recommend skip tracing to verify the most accurate and current information. By using multiple investigative tools, public records, and local knowledge, we can often identify a new service location quickly. Our goal is to minimize delays and provide a clear plan forward if standard service attempts are not successful.
Do you provide affidavits or proof of service?
Yes. After successful service, IPS LLC provides properly completed and court-ready documentation. This typically includes an Affidavit of Service or Return of Service that details when, where, and how the documents were delivered. These documents meet Missouri court requirements and can be submitted directly to your attorney or legal department.
Can civil process service be rushed or prioritized?
Absolutely. IPS LLC offers rush, priority, and after-hours service options for cases that require immediate attention. When urgency is essential — such as time-sensitive hearings, last-minute filings, or situations involving safety concerns — our team can expedite attempts and adjust scheduling to meet strict deadlines. You will be informed as each attempt is completed to maintain transparency.
