You have documents to be served.We have the servers.
Vetted, background-checked process servers across North and South Carolina — matched to your serve and dispatched fast. Whether you're a litigation team, a collections operation, or an individual with a single summons, the process is the same: upload, track, done.
Three steps to proof of service
Upload your documents
Our document AI reads your files and fills out the serve request automatically. Pick Standard, Priority, Rush, or Same-Day and you're done in about a minute.
Get matched with a vetted server
We geolocate the closest background-checked server in the right county and dispatch the job — you can watch every attempt live with GPS, photos, and notes.
Receive a court-ready affidavit
The notarized affidavit — NC G.S. § 1-75.10 or SC Rule 4(g) format — is generated from real field data the moment service completes, exhibits attached.
Serving papers shouldn't take three weeks.
Here's how the same serve plays out — the old way, and the NationLex way.
The old way
est. 2–3 weeks- Day 1
Google “process server near me.” Open six tabs. Squint at reviews.
- Day 2
Call three, email two, leave voicemails. Wait.
- Day 4
Someone finally answers. Negotiate a rate over the phone. Mail a check.
- Day 9
Radio silence. Call again for a status update. Leave another voicemail.
- Day 15
A scanned affidavit arrives — and the clerk kicks it back for format.
The NationLex way
~1 minute of your time- Minute 1
Upload your documents — AI reads them and fills out the request for you.
- Minute 2
Closest vetted server auto-matched and dispatched. Price locked before you click.
- Live
Watch every attempt as it happens — GPS, photos, timestamps, and chat.
- Done
Notarized, jurisdiction-correct affidavit lands in your dashboard automatically.
- Always
One flat price, one consolidated invoice. No surprises, no chasing.

Common questions
What is service of process?
The formal delivery of legal documents — summonses, complaints, subpoenas — to the parties in a case, done in a way that satisfies the court's rules. Proper service is what gives the court jurisdiction, which is why the affidavit matters as much as the delivery.
How do I hire a process server through NationLex?
Create a free account, upload your documents, and pick a speed. We match your serve to the nearest vetted server in our network and you track everything from your dashboard. No phone calls required.
How much does it cost?
You pick a speed tier — Standard (first attempt in 5–7 business days), Priority (3 business days), Rush (within 48 hours), or Same-Day (by end of day when ordered by noon) — priced per party, per address. Speed tiers set the timing of the first attempt; successful service still depends on recipient availability and legally permissible conditions. Certified mail service is available where the rules permit. Up to 5 attempts and the notarized affidavit are always included, and you'll see a detailed quote at order time.

You'll see every attempt live — GPS, photos, timestamps, and notes — and get a notification the moment service completes, with the affidavit ready to download from the same page.
What documents can you serve?
Summonses and complaints, subpoenas, family court filings, eviction notices, small claims papers, and most other civil process. If you're not sure, send us a message — we'll tell you straight.
