Process service in British Columbia

• Twelve months on a notice of civil claim

  Rule 3-2 gives a longer window than most provinces, but registry and hearing dates rarely wait. We plan attempts around your date, not the outside limit.

• Personal service under Rule 4-3

  The Rules set out how a person and a corporation are personally served. Where an alternative is used, we record what was done in enough detail to support an application later.

• Ferries and distance

  Vancouver Island, the Sunshine Coast, and the Gulf Islands mean sailings, not just drives. Island addresses are served by island-based servers wherever we can.

• Small claims

  Provincial Court small claims matters follow the Small Claims Rules, with their own service requirements. Tell us the registry and the forms you need.

• Mileage
• Up to three service attempts at the provided address
• Preparation and commissioning of any required Certificate of Service, Affidavit of Personal Service, or Affidavit of Attempted Service
• Detailed service reports by email, including the date, time, GPS coordinates, and the process server's notes
