NEW BRUNSWICK · CANADA
Process Servers
in Saint John
Saint John is New Brunswick's port city and industrial centre on the Bay of Fundy, and we run a daily route around the harbour from the Saint John Law Courts at 10 Peel Plaza — the modern Peel Plaza complex where the Court of King's Bench and Provincial Court share the building. Our agents cover Uptown, the city's distinct peninsulas (the North End, West Side, East Side), and the Kennebecasis Valley addresses out in Rothesay and Quispamsis, and we handle the security coordination that industrial-site service at the Irving refinery and the Port of Saint John demands.

Why PCA
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 will 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.

Local Service Context
Coordinating service in Saint John
Saint John's docket runs heavily on industrial, port, and energy-counterparty work. The Irving Oil refinery on Loch Lomond Road is Canada's largest refinery, and the Port of Saint John is a working deep-water container and bulk terminal — between them they drive a notable share of the local commercial-litigation and insurance-subrogation volume. We file at 10 Peel Plaza, where both Court of King's Bench and Provincial Court sit, and our paralegals prepare affidavits that match the King's Bench counter expectations on the first pass. The city's geography splits it across multiple peninsulas separated by the harbour and the Reversing Falls, so routes between the West Side, Uptown, the East Side, and the North End factor in bridge timings — this is the kind of local knowledge that turns a rush file from a missed deadline into a same-day affidavit. Saint John is more anglophone than the Acadian east of the province, but we still default to bilingual capability on every file.

Additional Court Support
Process serving is our core service
The large majority of our files are process-serving assignments. Court filing and physical court-file scanning can be coordinated through the same team, so the client does not need to manage multiple vendors for one proceeding.
Primary Service
Process Serving
We review the applicable requirements, coordinate the service attempts, provide regular updates, and draft and review the supporting affidavit internally. Flat-rate pricing keeps the assignment simple to approve and budget.
Court Filing
We can arrange physical filing or lodgement at the relevant court registry and return the available confirmation, subject to the court's filing rules and applicable fees.
Court Scanning
A court agent can attend the courthouse, access available physical records, and create digital copies in accordance with court-access rules, file availability, and applicable fees.
One-stop file support
More than a server at the door.
Skip tracing
Address searches can be coordinated when the recipient's location is uncertain.
Commissioning and notarization
We coordinate the required oath, commissioning, or notarization step for completion materials.
Affidavit drafting and review
Proof of service is drafted and reviewed internally because errors can delay the proceeding.
International service coordination
Cross-border and Hague Convention files can be managed through the same accountable team.
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 Saint John.
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.
