FPI – Frequently Asked Questions
​Service of Process

Q: What areas do you serve?

A: We proudly serve Cass County, Jackson County, Bates County, Henry County, Johnson County (MO & KS), and surrounding areas — with nationwide process serving available through our trusted investigator network.

Q: Are your process servers licensed or appointed?

A: Yes. In Missouri, process servers are often appointed as Special Process Servers under Rule 57.09, when approved by the court. In Kansas, servers must be authorized under K.S.A. 60-303. All Faithful Path process servers follow these rules, ensuring every serve is legally valid and properly documented.

Q: What types of documents can you serve?

A: We handle a full range of legal documents, including:

  • Summonses & Complaints

  • Subpoenas (civil or deposition)

  • Garnishments

  • Divorce, custody, and eviction papers

  • Small claims and civil notices

  • Court orders and motions

Q: How many attempts do you make to serve?

A: Standard service includes up to four attempts at different times and days. Additional attempts or surveillance can be arranged if needed.

Q: What happens if the person can’t be found?

A: If a subject avoids service or has moved, we can perform skip tracing — using lawful databases and investigative tools to locate new addresses, employers, or associates. Our goal is always to get valid service and return proof to your court or law firm.

Q: Do you provide proof of service?

A: Yes. Once service is completed, we provide a signed Affidavit or Return of Service in compliance with Missouri Rule 57.09 or Kansas statutes, ready for court filing. Digital copies are emailed for your records.

Q: What if service needs to happen quickly?

A: We offer rush, same-day, and priority service options. In urgent cases (such as short-notice subpoenas or restraining orders), we’ll make immediate contact and coordinate with the court for authorization if required.

Q: Can you serve someone at work, in jail, or at a hospital?

A: Yes. We routinely handle workplace, hospital, and correctional facility serves. Each situation is handled discreetly and within facility or employer guidelines.

Q: What are your process serving fees?

A: Fees vary by distance, urgency, and number of addresses or individuals. We offer flat-rate pricing with mileage included where possible. Contact us for a quote — we’ll provide a transparent written estimate before service begins.

Q: What if the court hasn’t approved a special process server yet?

A: In Missouri, a Motion and Order for Appointment of Special Process Server must often be filed and approved by the judge before service. We can provide templates and guidance to help law firms or pro se litigants file this quickly.

Q: Can you serve documents in another state?

A: Yes. We provide nationwide service of process through a vetted investigator network, ensuring compliance with that state’s rules and affidavit requirements.
