How Do You Prove That Someone Has Been Served Legal Documents?
Clear, Legally Compliant Proof of Service with SAVUS
When it comes to legal proceedings, it’s not enough to simply serve someone—you must be able to prove it. The courts require evidence that the Respondent has been notified of the action against them. This is where a formal Affidavit of Service becomes essential.
At SAVUS, our Adelaide-based process servers provide comprehensive proof of service for every job. Once service is complete, we supply all the required documentation to confirm that the delivery was carried out correctly and legally.
What Is an Affidavit of Service?
An Affidavit of Service is a legal document that outlines the details of how, when, and to whom legal papers were served. This document must be signed and witnessed, and typically includes:
The full name and identity of the Respondent
A list of the legal documents delivered
The exact date, time, and location of service
The method of service (e.g., personal delivery, registered post)
Additional details such as witness information or unusual circumstances
This affidavit becomes part of the official court record and is essential to moving your case forward.
What If the Respondent Can’t Be Found?
Even if the recipient is avoiding service or cannot be located, SAVUS can provide detailed documentation of all service attempts and steps taken. This record may help you apply for substituted service or seek court directions when traditional methods have failed.
