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.
