Process server coverage by city

Each city below has its own page because the drive, the courthouse, and the price are not the same everywhere. Standard coverage is the metro price: four attempts and no rural surcharge. Rural adds $45 and includes three attempts. Extra-rural adds $100, includes two attempts, and has to be confirmed by phone before you order. The only office is in Mission Valley, San Diego. A city page does not mean there is a branch there.

Four attempts at the metro price, with no rural surcharge. Temecula and Murrieta are in Riverside County and still use this price. Proofs for those Riverside courts come back to you to file.
