Process Server in Sacramento, California

StrikeServe is based in Sacramento, so Sacramento County is home ground for us. Whether the defendant is in a Midtown apartment, a Natomas subdivision, a Rancho Cordova office park or a rural parcel out toward Galt, a California registered process server picks up the job from our dispatch system and works it until it is served or exhausted.

You order online, upload the documents, and follow every attempt on a timeline that records the GPS coordinates and timestamp of each visit. When service is complete you download a proof of service that is formatted to the California Rules of Court and signed by the server under penalty of perjury, ready to file with the Sacramento County Superior Court.

Pricing for process serving in Sacramento

Three flat tiers, the same price anywhere in Sacramento County. Every tier includes up to three attempts, GPS-timestamped attempt records and a court-formatted proof of service.

Routine — $95

First attempt within 5–7 business days. The standard tier for most summons, subpoenas and family-law papers when the case calendar allows a normal window.

Rush — $145

First attempt within 2–3 business days. For deadlines that are close but not today: hearing notices, deposition subpoenas, motion papers with a short fuse.

Same-Day — $250

Order by noon; first attempt the same day. For emergencies. Place the order by noon and a server makes the first attempt that day.

Serving papers in Sacramento

Sacramento is a state-capital city, which means an unusual share of service work here involves government offices, registered agents and lobbying firms clustered around the Capitol, K Street and the downtown core. Serving a registered agent or a state agency during business hours is straightforward; serving an individual in the suburbs usually means evening or weekend attempts, which our servers schedule as part of the included attempts. The county also stretches well beyond the city limits to Elk Grove, Citrus Heights, Folsom and the Delta communities, all of which are covered at the same flat price.

Sacramento County Superior Court

Civil cases for Sacramento County are heard by the Sacramento County Superior Court. Since April 2026 its civil courthouse is the Tani G. Cantil-Sakauye Sacramento County Courthouse at 500 G Street in downtown Sacramento, which houses the civil law-and-motion departments and the civil records unit. If your case is filed there, the proof of service we deliver is the document you file to show the court that the defendant or witness was properly served.

California service rules in plain language. Personal service under CCP §415.10 means handing the papers to the person being served. Substitute service under CCP §415.20 means leaving the papers with a competent adult at the person's home or workplace and then mailing a copy, and for individuals it is generally allowed only after reasonable attempts at personal service. Proof of service under CCP §417.10 is the signed document that tells the court how, when and where service was made. This is general information about California procedure, not legal advice; confirm the requirements for your case with the court or your attorney.
