Frequently Asked Questions

What types of documents can you retrieve?

We retrieve judgments, orders, certificates of judgment, pleadings, originating processes, motion records, factums, exhibits, endorsements where available, appeal materials, and archived files. Availability can vary by registry and access rules.

Which courts and tribunals do you cover in Ontario?

We handle requests at the Superior Court of Justice, Small Claims Court, Divisional Court, and the Court of Appeal. For tribunals and specialized bodies, coverage depends on access policies and file availability. We will confirm feasibility at intake.

What information do you need to start a retrieval?

Please provide the court level and location, style of cause, and the court file number if known. Include the specific documents or date range required, whether certification or exemplification is needed, your delivery preference, and any deadlines.

Can you obtain certified or exemplified copies?

Yes. We can request plain, certified, or exemplified copies where permitted by the registry. We verify seals, certificate pages, and required language to meet your procedural or cross-jurisdictional needs.

How fast is turnaround? Do you offer rush or same-day?

Standard turnaround is typically one to three business days, subject to registry volume and file location. Rush and same-day options are available at select courts during counter hours. We will advise the fastest compliant route for your matter.

How are fees calculated?

Quotes include court copy charges, certification fees if requested, disbursements, and our service fee. Additional costs may apply for archived pulls, mileage where applicable, or courier delivery of hard copies. We confirm totals before proceeding.

How will I receive the documents?

We can deliver by secure PDF email, by courier of hard copies, or arrange pick-up. Large sets can be separated into volumes and indexed for clarity. Delivery options may depend on what the registry provides.

Can you retrieve records from archived or off-site storage?

Yes. We request archive pulls, confirm expected timelines, and coordinate any required prepayment or appointments. Older files can take longer depending on storage and the registry’s retrieval schedule.

Are there access restrictions or privacy limits?

Some files or materials are restricted, sealed, or partially redacted under court rules. We follow registry guidance and will let you know if permissions, consents, or additional steps are required before release.

Do you check completeness and quality?

Yes. We review legibility, page count, and the presence of seals or certificate pages when applicable. If a correction is needed, we will address it promptly with the registry.

Can you combine retrieval with filing or service?

Yes. We can retrieve, then coordinate court filing or issuance, and arrange personal service across Ontario with affidavits of service as required. This streamlines preparation for hearings or deadlines.

How will you keep me updated?

You will receive milestone emails when the request is queued, the file is located, copies are prepared, and delivery is arranged. For urgent matters, we provide additional status updates until completion.

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.
