1. I can't find an address for the person I need to serve. Can you find them for me?

We put the responsibility of locating a good address for the person needing service unto you. We can provide a list of private process services that will provide investigative work if needed.

2. Can you serve this person now?

We will not give special treatment to any one person or attorney's office. To do so would be in violation of state statute. We will serve the papers as they are submitted to our office and we will not make any service a priority if we have others that were subsequently received and have not yet been executed. A private process server may be contacted for more expedited service.

Service Exceptions:

Temporary / Permanent Protection Orders are served immediately.

If after 5:00 p.m. or weekends, contact the Aspen / Pitkin Communications Center (dispatch) at 970-920-5310.

3. I just paid a filing fee for the court, why do I have to pay your office to have my documents served?

The court is a separate entity from the Sheriff's Office. By statute, we are required to collect fees up front before service is completed.

4. How many attempts will you make on a service?

We will attempt to achieve a service up to 4 times, including both day and night attempts. If we are not able to serve the papers after the fourth attempt, we will return the papers to you.
