Active server network across 15 Georgia counties with 24–48 hour first attempt guarantees in all covered areas.
Pricing is driven by the type of serve, not where in metro Atlanta the recipient lives. Whether you're serving in downtown Atlanta or out in Hall County, the flat rate by serve type is the same.
Fulton County orders include a one-time $25 surcharge on top of the flat serve rate. The surcharge applies only when Fulton County is selected, and it's charged once per order — it does not multiply with the number of defendants on the same order.

Place your order →Georgia's service of process requirements are governed by O.C.G.A. § 9-11-4, which sets the rules for how, when, and by whom legal documents must be served. Reliant Process Solutions operates in full compliance with all state statutes.
Any person who is not a party to the action and is 18 years of age or older may serve process in Georgia (O.C.G.A. § 9-11-4(b)). Professional process servers provide GPS documentation and professional liability insurance that self-service cannot.
With Reliant Process Solutions, Standard speed includes a 2–3 business day first attempt. Next-day Rush (+$35) targets next business day. Same-day Rush (+$75) dispatches a server within 2 hours of order. The national average for process serving is 5–7 business days.
An affidavit of service (proof of service) is a sworn statement by the process server documenting when, where, and how service was completed. We deliver GPS-stamped, photo-verified affidavits electronically within 24 hours of successful service.
Under Georgia law, a defendant cannot legally refuse service. If the server presents documents and the defendant refuses, placing them at the defendant's feet constitutes valid service. Our servers are trained on evasion tactics and document every attempt.
Skip tracing uses public records, proprietary databases, and utility data to locate a defendant's current address. Our skip trace service typically returns results within 24–48 hours for standard searches, or 4–8 hours for expedited.
Yes — court filing is available as an add-on service ($45 standard, $75 rush). We file at the appropriate Georgia court after successful service and you receive confirmation with the filed affidavit same day.
"We switched to Reliant after struggling with missed SLAs from a national provider. The 48-hour guarantee is real — they've hit it on every single order. GPS-stamped affidavits hold up perfectly in every filing."
"The skip trace and evening attempts through Reliant have dramatically improved our success rate on evasive debtors. We process 80+ serves a month. ROI is undeniable."
"Reliant's court filing add-on means I don't have to send a paralegal to file. They serve and file, I get the confirmation same day. Worth every penny for our high-stakes cases."
