Edmonton law firms and individuals can price a serve before anyone is dispatched. Inside city limits the rate is flat, a sworn affidavit of service comes with every completed serve, and GST is added on top. Coverage, turnaround, and the city FAQ are on our Edmonton process server page. The southern version of this guide is Process Server Cost in Calgary.
How much does a process server cost in Edmonton?
A process server costs a flat $185 inside Edmonton city limits, plus GST. That is the regular base rate for standard service of one person at one address, with no mileage inside the city boundary.
Every price on this page is in Canadian dollars and is before GST. The process server cost calculator adds 5% GST as its own line, so you can see the itemized total before you send documents.
EasyProServe Edmonton rates (before GST):
| Service | Cost |
|---|---|
| Standard service (base, inside city limits) | $185 |
| Rush service (24–48 hr add-on) | +$99 |
| Same-day service (add-on, documents in before 11 AM) | +$125 |
| Additional defendant (same address) | $60 |
| Court of Justice document filing | $55 |
| Commissioner of Oaths | $75 |
| Mileage outside city limits | $1.10/km, each way |
These match the regular rates on the fee schedule. Law firms with steady volume can ask about account pricing. That rate is quoted to the firm. It is not a published dollar amount.
What does the Edmonton base rate include?
The $185 base rate includes up to 3 service attempts within 10 days, and a sworn affidavit of service with every completed serve. Attempts are made at different times of day and week. Each one is logged with timestamped notes and photos, including a photo of the address.
There is no separate charge for file handling, administration, or document review. The affidavit records the date, time, location, and manner of service for the Court of King’s Bench of Alberta or the Alberta Court of Justice in Edmonton. Evening and weekend attempts, when the person is hard to reach on weekdays, count toward the three attempts already included.
How much is rush or same-day service in Edmonton?
Rush service is an additional $99 for a first attempt within 24–48 hours, and same-day service is an additional $125 when documents are submitted before 11 AM. Same-day means the first attempt happens that day. Both amounts sit on top of the $185 base, and GST is extra.
On the fee schedule, rush and same-day are for law firm and corporate clients in Edmonton and Calgary. They are not offered for addresses outside city limits. If a filing deadline or a hearing date is driving the timeline, say so when you submit. We confirm the option is open before the serve starts.
Is there mileage inside Edmonton city limits?
No. There is no mileage charge on any serve inside Edmonton city limits. Castle Downs, Clareview, West Edmonton, Old Strathcona, and every other address inside the boundary stay on the flat $185 base.
Outside city limits, mileage is $1.10 per kilometre, charged each way from the nearest courthouse. That published rate often changes with fuel costs, so the figure is confirmed before we start. Estimate it in the process server cost calculator, or read the mileage line on the fee schedule. For a serve more than 150 km from the courthouse, contact us for a confirmed quote.
St. Albert, Sherwood Park, and the rest of the Edmonton metro are in our service area, and they sit outside Edmonton city limits. The flat $185 city rate does not apply there. Mileage follows the measured distance. There is no single published price for a Sherwood Park serve or a St. Albert serve.
What else changes the price?
Rush or same-day service, an address outside Edmonton city limits, an evasive recipient, the document being served, and a court filing add-on are what move the price off the flat $185.
Rush or same-day. Add $99 or $125, as above. GST is extra.
Locations outside city limits. St. Albert, Sherwood Park, and other metro addresses outside the boundary add mileage at $1.10/km each way. The calculator estimates it. We confirm the amount before starting.
Evasive recipients and extra attempts. Up to 3 attempts are already in the base rate, including evenings and weekends. If personal service still cannot be completed, you get an affidavit of attempted service for a substitutional service application. The fee schedule does not list a price for attempts past those three. We confirm that cost before we begin, and unsuccessful service follows your service agreement.
Document type. Statements of claim, divorce petitions, eviction notices, subpoenas, court orders, and demand letters all use the same $185 base. The fee schedule does not charge a different base by document name. The price changes when the job needs an add-on.
Court filing add-on. Court of Justice document filing in Edmonton is $55, plus GST. Commissioner of Oaths service is $75, plus GST. An additional defendant at the same address is $60, plus GST, because that person needs a separate affidavit of service. See the fee schedule.
Which Edmonton areas do you cover?
EasyProServe covers all of Edmonton, plus St. Albert, Sherwood Park, and the surrounding Edmonton metro. Inside the city that includes downtown, Old Strathcona, Mill Woods, West Edmonton, Castle Downs, Clareview, and the communities between them. No city address is out of range or adds mileage. St. Albert, Sherwood Park, and other communities outside the boundary are quoted with mileage. If you are unsure, choose a location outside the city in the cost calculator. The area list is on the Edmonton process server page.
How do I start a serve in Edmonton?
Start a serve with the documents, the recipient’s name and address, any schedule or access notes, and your deadline if you have one. We confirm receipt and the price before the serve begins.
Law firm clients can follow the file at portal.easyproserve.ca, where updates are posted as attempts are made. Individuals and firms can both price the job first with the process server cost calculator, or read every add-on on the fee schedule. Questions can go to frontdesk@easyproserve.ca or the contact form.
