Frequently Asked Questions

Where can documents be filed in Ontario?

We file with Ontario court registries including the Superior Court of Justice (Civil, Commercial List, Divisional Court, Family for document transfer as permitted) and Small Claims Court. Filing routes vary by court: counter filing, drop‑box protocols, and e‑filing portals.

What is the difference between filing and issuance?

Filing places your materials on the court record. Issuance is when the court produces a document bearing a court seal or stamp and a file number (for example, a Statement of Claim, Application, Summons to a Witness, or a Writ/Certificate post‑judgment).

Which documents typically require issuance?

Typical issued documents include Statements of Claim, Applications, Plaintiff’s Claims (Small Claims), Summons to a Witness, Notices of Appointment for Examination, Writs of Seizure and Sale, and various post‑judgment certificates. Registry practice may vary by location.

Can you e‑file my documents?

Yes. Where a court supports electronic filing, we prepare compliant PDFs, complete portal data, pay fees, and upload exhibits as required. We monitor the portal for acceptance and provide conformed copies once issued or filed.

What do you need from me to start?

Please provide final PDFs, the court and location, the style of cause, any filing instructions or deadlines, payment method for court fees, and contact details for return copies. If commissioning or exhibits are required, ensure they are complete and legible.

How fast is turnaround?

Turnaround depends on the court, the filing route (counter, drop‑box, or e‑file), and current registry volume. Urgent and after‑hours options are available for time‑sensitive matters. We will advise the fastest compliant path for your case.

Can you handle urgent or after‑hours filings?

Yes. For urgent motions or injunctions, we arrange filings outside regular counter hours where available, liaise with court staff on emergency procedures, and provide real‑time updates until acceptance.

What happens if the registry requests a correction?

We review the registrar’s note, correct the materials, and re‑submit promptly. For complex matters, we can perform a pre‑submission audit to reduce the risk of rejection at the counter or in the e‑portal.

Will I receive proof that filing or issuance is complete?

Yes. We provide conformed copies or issued originals as applicable, along with a filing summary. If physical originals are required, we can courier them to your office upon request.

Do you provide service of issued documents?

Yes. Our Process Serving team can personally serve issued materials across Ontario, prepare affidavits of service, and file proofs with the court when required.

How are fees calculated?

Quotes include court fees, disbursements, and our service fee. Pricing reflects the filing route, urgency, page count, and any return‑courier needs. We will confirm the total before we proceed.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept major credit cards and e‑transfer. Terms may be available to law firms, insurers, and lenders upon approval.

How will you keep me updated?

You will receive milestone emails when materials are queued, submitted, accepted, and returned. For urgent matters, we provide additional status updates and confirm issuance details once available.

Fantastic experience - these folks not only serve documents, they were able to provide information about proper document service and if you can believe it, actually told me in my circumstance that I could serve my documents via email instead of hiring them! Great integrity and professionalism. Thank you!!

I had an excellent experience working with WeServe&File Process Server. From the very beginning, Derik was incredibly helpful and guided me through each and every step of the process. He spent a generous amount of time with me over the phone, answering all of my questions and offering his expert advice. His professionalism and clear communication made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. I truly appreciated the time he took to explain everything in detail and ensure I was comfortable with each part of the process. If you’re looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and supportive process server, I highly recommend WeServe&File. Thank you, Derik, for your outstanding service!

I thought the case has reached an impasse as I was unable to get hold of the defendants. They have being actively avoding me and I wasn't aware of their whereabouts and I couldn't serve them. Derik and his the team at Sunshine has been quite helpful in tracking them. Derik went the extra mile in setting up a "business meeting" with the defendant as he was clever to avoid being served. My experience with Derik: 1. A knowledgeable individual. He consulted for me at no additional charge about how to serve the defendants properly considering the complexity of my case. 2. He was always willing to help and answer any questions and he had the skin in the game to get things done correctly. 3. For individuals who avoid to be served, he has work arounds to help find them with official records search or setting up "business meetings" or other rendezvous with them and serving them were while on the process. I'm so thankful for all the help from WeServe&File Team. If you have a complex case, Derick is your guy. Talk to him before you proceed with anyone else. You will be convinced why you need to work with a guy like him.

Derik and his team did such an amazing job for a task that was very complicated and stressful to me. They treated me with respect and gentleness, while I was going through my painful and embarrassing circumstances. WeServe&File offered great service at a decent price. I found them after other companies tried to take advantage of my situation and overcharge me, treated me with contempt or even refused the job. Everyone who was stuck in court for months because they couldn't serve papers knows what I am talking about. Flexibility and understanding seems rare in this area of business and WeServe&File has that. WeServe&File got all the paperwork legalized and in proper form. Absolutely trustful, professional, reliable, efficient and timely communication, and I recommend them very highly.

I needed my papers filed within 2 days. I contact we serve and they did it the same day! They even filed my court documents so I didn't have to leave my home. They were so helpful, kind, and understanding. The prices were great for me not having to deal with it. I would give them five stars and if I ever need a paper served again I will be using them!

I highly recommend Derek and his team for their exceptional service. They were prompt and proactive in locating and serving the defendants who were attempting to avoid our legal claims. Their affidavits of service and attempted service were completed professionally and for a reasonable fee. Throughout the process, their team was courteous and exhibited utmost professionalism. I plan to use their services again and strongly recommend them to anyone in need of a reliable process server.
