Serving documents in Ontario, ordered from anywhere in Canada
Your matter is in British Columbia, Alberta, Quebec or another province, and the person you need to serve is in Toronto or the GTA. Send us the documents online, and we serve them here and return a sworn affidavit of service you can file in your own court.
No local agent to find
You do not need a correspondent firm in Ontario to arrange service. Upload the documents, tell us who and where, and pay by card. The whole order takes a few minutes from any province.
Proof you can see from your desk
Every attempt is recorded with its time, GPS location and photographs. You get an email at each step and a private tracking page, so you never have to phone across time zones to ask what happened.
An affidavit for your court
The affidavit of service is prepared for the court your matter is in, sworn before a commissioner, and returned as a signed PDF. Tell us the court and file number when you order.
How it works from out of province
- Order online and upload the documents as a PDF. We print them here, and the first 10 pages are free.
- A server makes the first attempt within 72 hours, or within 24 hours on a rush order.
- If an attempt does not succeed, you see the photographs and the server's note, and you decide whether another attempt goes ahead. Nothing is charged without your approval.
- Once the person is served, the sworn affidavit is uploaded to your tracking page within 24 hours.
What to tell us
Rules for service differ between provinces and between courts. Before you order, check what your own court requires for service outside the province, including any time limits and the form of affidavit. Put those requirements in the notes on your order and we will follow them. If your court needs a particular affidavit form, attach it with your documents.
Sparrow serves documents and provides proof of service. We do not give legal advice on whether service outside your province is permitted in your matter.
