About Served & Found

Served & Found is a directory of process servers and private investigators. It is selective. We choose each professional from official licence and certification records and professional association rosters, check them against the official record, and date that check. Professionals can also apply, and every application is reviewed before it goes live. We contact the businesses we list so they can confirm, correct or remove their details.

How professionals are chosen

Listings start from public court certification records, state licence records and professional association rosters. We begin in Arizona. A state or area is added only when we have enough checked professionals to make the listing useful.

What "checked" means

Where a state issues a licence or certification for the work, we confirm that a current credential number exists on that state's official record before a listing goes live. Each listing shows the date it was last checked, along with a link to the state lookup so that you can confirm the credential yourself.

Some states issue no credential for certain work. In those states we still list professionals we have chosen, and the listing says that no state credential is required.

A check confirms a credential on the date shown. It does not guarantee the quality of any professional's work, and it does not replace your own judgment before you hire.

Sponsored listings

Professionals may pay for a premium placement in an area or across a state. Every paid placement is labelled "Sponsored". We may also place a listing prominently ourselves, without payment; those placements are labelled "Staff pick". Payment affects where a listing appears. It does not affect whether a professional is chosen or checked, and nobody can pay to be listed without first being approved.

Getting listed

Listings are by invitation or by submission. Every listing, invited or submitted, is reviewed before it goes live, including a check of the credential against the official record. An invitation code can carry a discount; it does not skip the review. You can get listed here. A standard listing is free.
