Win back time in your day to focus on law instead of the status of serves.

At WeServe&File, we locate, request, and deliver official court records across Ontario. Requests include certified copies, conformed copies, and PDF scans for active and closed files. Our team attends registries, uses available e-portals, and liaises with court staff to ensure the exact record and copy type is obtained correctly and on time. Processes follow Ontario practice directions and the Rules of Civil Procedure.

Typical records include judgments, orders and certificates of judgment; pleadings and originating processes such as claims, applications and defences; motion records, factums and exhibits; endorsements and docket notes where available; appeal materials; and archived or off-site files. Copy types available include plain, certified and exemplified where permitted.

Retrieval requirements vary by court. We confirm the correct registry, hours, queue volumes, and any prepayment or appointment needs for archived and off-site materials. Matters for Small Claims, the Superior Court of Justice, Divisional Court, and the Court of Appeal are coordinated according to each registry’s rules to avoid delay.

Before ordering copies, we perform targeted file lookups to confirm parties, check endorsements, and verify procedural status. For older or closed matters, we coordinate archive pulls and provide timing estimates based on storage location and retrieval policy.

Standard service typically takes one to three business days, subject to registry volume. Rush service is often available the next business day. Same-day retrieval is available for select courts and records during counter hours.

Pages are checked for completeness and legibility. Where certification is requested, seals and certificate pages are included. Exemplified copies can be arranged where permitted or required for inter-jurisdictional use.

Delivery options include secure PDF by email, courier of hard copies, or arranged pick-up. Large sets can be split into volumes and indexed for clarity.

To begin, please provide the court level and location for the file, the style of cause and, if known, the court file number, the documents or date ranges required, whether certification or exemplification is required, the preferred delivery method, and your deadline. Supplying these details allows us to retrieve the correct record on the first attempt and to advise the fastest compliant route.

Sensitive materials are handled according to court access rules and your instructions. We do not disclose contents to third parties and we follow registry guidance for restricted or sealed records, including any required permissions or redactions.

Quotes include court copy charges, certification fees, disbursements, and our service fee. Turnaround depends on registry volume, file age, and urgency, as well as specific court or institutional procedures. We will confirm all anticipated costs, required deposits, and timelines before proceeding, ensuring transparency and avoiding unexpected delays.
