Alternative methods of service:

Some alternative ways of service are email or mail to your spouse or a relative of your spouse. In addition, other forms of last resort include placing a legal notice in a newspaper or at the court.

How it works:

Firstly, complete the BC substituted service questionnaire.
Secondly, generate, print and sign the affidavit, order, and requisition.
After that, mail or drop them off at our office.
Next, we’ll file them in court and await the court judgement.
Finally, we’ll contact you approximately four weeks later with the result.

After the court grants the substituted service order, complete the alternative service and get the affidavit of service from your process server.
