Alternative service almost always starts with a documented failure to serve. Guaranteed runs up to 99 attempts over 180 days with investigative skip tracing, and it produces the return of non-service your motion needs.

The order comes first. Then we serve it exactly as written.
01
You move for alternative service.
File the motion with what you’ve already tried. The judge names the method, the recipient, and anything that has to go with it.
02
Upload the order with your papers.
Choose Alternate at checkout and give us the address, number, or account the order names. $45 flat, and no travel fee.
03
We serve it and document the delivery.
We use the method the order specifies, capture what proves it was sent, and send you a Return of Service naming the method, the date, and the time.
Proof
The return names the method, not just the date.
A judge who authorized service by email will want to see that it went by email. Your Return of Service records the method the order named, where it was sent, and when — so the file shows the order was followed.

FAQs
Alternative service questions
What is alternative service?
A court order allowing service by another method, such as text, email, social media, posting, mail, or publication, after you show diligent attempts failed. Our documented attempts are that showing, and our Alternate service ($45) carries out whatever method the judge approves.
What if I don’t have the order yet?
Order a serve at the level that fits your deadline — Rush or Guaranteed if the person is avoiding you — and we’ll attempt personal service and give you a detailed return of non-service listing every attempt with its date, time, and GPS location. That record is what a motion for alternative service is built on. Once the judge signs the order, come back and order Alternate for $45.
Which methods can a Utah judge authorize?
Commonly email, text message, a direct message to a social media account, first-class or certified mail, and posting. The order controls: we serve by the method it names, to the address, number, or account it names, and nothing else. If the order calls for service by publication, that runs through the newspaper rather than through us.
How fast is alternative service?
The first attempt is the next business day, and it is generally finished the same day it goes out, because there is no travel involved. Upload the signed order with your documents and you will have the Return of Service once the method has been carried out.
