Process Servers
in Alberta
From Calgary to communities across the entire province, we coordinate process serving, courthouse filing, and physical court-file scanning through one accountable team. Clients receive fair flat-rate process-serving prices, rapid responses, regular updates, and proof of service drafted and reviewed internally.
Flat-rate process serving
From $290 CAD
Pricing based on the service location
Standard local service starts at $290 CAD in select service centres across Alberta. Pricing elsewhere varies slightly based on the service address and local logistics. The complete flat-rate price is confirmed before dispatch.
Why PCA may cost more than another server
We don't.
Some process servers attract clients with a low initial quote, only to add charges for mileage, additional attempts, commissioning, administration, and other unexpected expenses. PCA provides a clear, flat-rate price before service begins. You know what is included and what the file will cost—no hidden fees and no surprises.
In most jurisdictions, process servers do not need a special licence. Almost anyone can take your documents and attempt service. The real risk often becomes apparent afterwards, when you need that person to prepare a complete and accurate affidavit or other proof of service.
Every assignment can involve different court rules, specific service requirements, important documents, and multiple exhibits. If the method of service or affidavit does not properly address those details, the court may reject the filing. That can delay the proceeding, increase costs, and require service to be completed again—with no guarantee the same server will get it right the second time.
PCA removes that uncertainty. Our team reviews the requirements, manages the service, and prepares or reviews the resulting proof. Your complete price and scope are confirmed before work begins.
Clear pricing. Proper service. Reliable proof. Let us show you why PCA is the first choice for professional process serving.
When the price changes
The service fee changes for under-48-hour rush timing, excessive printing, additional defendants, or different service addresses.
Skip tracing and courthouse filing are optional services quoted separately. The complete price and scope are confirmed before work begins.

Why Pugsley
What sets us apartin Alberta.
Legally-trained oversight
Our team includes lawyers, paralegals, law students, and experienced process servers. We review the applicable service requirements before dispatch instead of treating the file as a simple delivery job.
In-house affidavit drafting
An incomplete or incorrect affidavit can delay a proceeding and increase costs. We draft, review, and arrange commissioning internally, so law firms are not asked to prepare the affidavit for us or spend billable time checking and correcting our work before filing.
Flat, transparent pricing
Our flat-rate process-serving prices are clear before work begins. No hidden ordinary-attempt charges, no nickel-and-diming, and no surprise invoice that makes the file difficult to budget.
A one-stop court support partner
Process serving is our core service, with court filing, court scanning, skip tracing, commissioning or notarization coordination, affidavit work, and international service coordination available through the same team.
Global coverage, local execution
Coverage throughout Alberta, from major cities to rural and remote communities, backed by one accountable team that finds a practical solution wherever the address takes us.
Proactive communication
We respond quickly and provide meaningful updates throughout the file. Law firms save time because they do not need to chase attempts, status changes, or completion materials.
Complete court support
Process serving first. Everything else when you need it.
Process serving makes up the large majority of our work. The same team can also arrange court filing, physical court-file scanning, and related support so you do not need to source and manage a second provider.
Core service
Process Serving
We review the applicable requirements, select and instruct the local server, manage attempts, provide regular updates, and prepare the affidavit of service or attempted service internally. Flat-rate pricing keeps the assignment simple to approve and budget.
Court Filing
We coordinate physical filing or lodgement at the appropriate court registry and return the available confirmation, subject to the court's filing rules and fees.
Court Scanning
A court agent can attend the courthouse, access available physical records, and create digital copies in accordance with court-access rules and file availability.
Skip tracing
When an address is uncertain, we can coordinate a search before or during the service assignment.
Affidavit drafting and review
Our team prepares and reviews affidavits of service and attempted service internally rather than leaving critical proof to chance.
Commissioning and notarization
Where required, we coordinate the commissioning or notarization step so the completion materials can move forward together.
International coordination
Cross-border and Hague Convention assignments can be managed through the same central file handler and international network.
Regional service context
Coverage across all of Alberta.
Whether the address is in Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer, Lethbridge, and Grande Prairie or outside the usual metropolitan routes, we find a practical solution and keep the client informed. The service plan is reviewed against Alberta's service rules and the requirements of the court in which the matter is proceeding before work begins.
Flat-rate process-serving prices make the file easy to approve and budget. We do not nickel-and-dime clients for ordinary attempts, and meaningful updates are provided without requiring repeated follow-up.
Alberta operates under the Alberta Rules of Court, with the Court of King's Bench handling civil and family matters and the Provincial Court of Alberta handling criminal, small claims, and many family files. Calgary and Edmonton anchor the court network; Red Deer, Lethbridge, Grande Prairie, and Medicine Hat each have Provincial Court presence with regional King's Bench sittings. Service of originating documents follows the Rules' personal service requirements, with substituted service available on order where personal service is impractical.
Built for every client
Expert coordination without the uncertainty.
For law firms and organizations
Send the file once and reclaim the administrative time normally spent locating an agent, giving instructions, chasing attempts, arranging courthouse work, and correcting proof of service. We provide one accountable contact and regular updates throughout the assignment in Alberta.
For self-represented litigants
Formal service can feel unfamiliar and high-stakes. We explain our service process clearly, confirm a fair price before work begins, coordinate the assignment, and return organized proof of service so you are not left trying to manage multiple providers alone.
