Civil Processes

Civil Processes in North Carolina are served and returned according to North Carolina General Statute.  The service package should include a copy of the process for the deputy to send back with the return and a service copy of the process for each respondent.   The service fee is $15.00 (per address attempted) for processes issued inside North Carolina .  The cost for process issued outside of North Carolina is $50.00 (per address attempted) and the service package should include a copy of the process for the deputy to send back with the return, as well as a self-addressed, stamped envelope for return of service, and a service copy of the process for each respondent.   Payment must be in the form of a certified check or money order (an official law firm check is also acceptable) made payable to The Sheriff of Mecklenburg County.  If delivering the process in person, cash is acceptable.  Do not mail cash. The process can be mailed, or delivered in person to:
