Your file, professionally managed
More than a doorstep attempt.
We review the instructions, coordinate the local professional, keep you informed and prepare or review the required proof. You get one accountable contact from submission to return.
Local requirements & useful context
For institutional premises, identify the entity or office to be served and any specific court directions. Provide the level and entrance for an office or apartment. A related Queanbeyan or other NSW address must be labelled separately so the destination jurisdiction and document package can be checked.
The ACT Courts' civil-claim checklist distinguishes court-file requirements from service, including additional requirements when a claim is served outside the ACT. Supply the full issued package, originating court and any directions rather than assuming the recipient's proximity to Canberra determines the procedure.

What does the 48-hour offer mean?
A first service attempt within 48 hours in most standard service areas, with no rush fee for that timeframe. It does not guarantee successful service. We confirm the timing for the actual address and requirements before accepting the assignment.
What if the recipient has moved?
Send the previous address and any lawful identifying information. PCA can assess a separately priced skip trace before further attempts.
