The registration of a process server is required when any person makes more than 10 services of process within California during one calendar year. The registrant must file a certificate of registration with the county clerk, along with a bond of $2,000 executed by an admitted surety insurer. The county clerk then forwards the bond to the county recorder for recording.
The registration filing fee is $100. The recording fee is $8 for the first page and $3 for each additional page of the bond. An additional fee of $3 will be charged for every page of a document that is not standard size, which is 8.5 inches by 11 inches.
Professional photocopier registrants must file a certificate of registration with the county clerk, along with a bond in the amount of $5,000 executed by an admitted surety insurer. The county clerk then forwards the bond to the county recorder for recording. Certificates are effective for two years.
The registration fee is $175, plus $10 for the required identification card. The fee to record the bond is $8 for the first page and $3 for each additional page of the bond. If the applicant is currently a registered process server, the fee is $100, with all other fees applicable as stated.
Registration forms for both process servers and professional photocopiers are available at the county clerk's office, which is located at:
