About

43 Years of Process Serving Excellence

For more than 40 years, Capitol Process Services, Inc. has provided service of process and for legal, business, and government communities around the country. We specialize in difficult-to-serve and evasive individuals.


Our Beginning

Capitol Process Services, Inc. was founded in Washington, DC in 1981 with the goal of providing comprehensive service of process to the legal community. We quickly gained a reputation for being thorough, effective, reliable, and timely, and while we remain locally owned and operated, we have expanded our geographic reach to serve clients around the country.  

Our clients include the largest law firms in the Washington, DC area and other major cities, smaller local and regional law firms, Fortune 500 companies, and Federal Government departments and agencies. 

We are bonded, insured, and licensed throughout the Washington DC Metropolitan Area, and we are a member of the National Association of Professional Process Servers (NAPPS) and the Mid-Atlantic Association of Professional Process Servers (MAAPPS). 

We continue to provide exceptional service to our clients. We have received multiple awards including Best Process Server by Legal Times and the Good Hope award by Bread for the City.

What We Do

Capitol Process Services offers exceptional value, saving our clients time, money, and the burden of researching service rules that vary among jurisdictions.   

We have experience working in high-profile and demanding cases. Because we conduct research to locate defendants and witnesses and to determine the most appropriate way to serve them, we have successfully served numerous individuals actively attempting to avoid service.  

We also advise our clients on alternative service methods, foreign subpoena requirements, witness fee requirements, and more.  

Capitol Process is part of a national association of process servers, enabling us to serve our clients from coast to coast. We have an agent specializing in international service within the guidelines of the Hague Convention.
