Plantation Process Server — Golden Process Service (Headquarters)
Golden Process Service is a Plantation process server headquartered at 9715 W Broward Blvd, Suite 322. Plantation is not a city we cover from somewhere else. It is where our office is, where jobs are dispatched from, and where we have worked since 2018. If you need a process server in Plantation for a resident, a business or a registered agent, you are dealing with the company that sends the server.
Plantation Is Home Turf for Golden Process Service
Most process serving companies that rank for Plantation are based somewhere else and send a contractor when an order comes in. Our headquarters is on West Broward Boulevard, inside the city. A Plantation process server job here starts and ends at the same office: the order is reviewed, assigned, attempted and returned by the people who run the company.
Location matters in this work because the hard part of a serve is rarely the paperwork. It is catching a person at home at the right hour, getting through a guard gate, or finding the right desk inside an office building. A server who works the same streets every week learns when people come and go and how each building handles visitors.
Plantation also has something few Florida cities have: two of the largest registered agents in the country. C T Corporation System and National Registered Agents, Inc. are both listed on Sunbiz at 1200 South Pine Island Road. Thousands of companies that do business in Florida name one of them as their agent, so suits against those companies are often served right here in Plantation.
Every job, large or small, is handled under Chapter 48, Florida Statutes. That chapter sets who may serve, how personal and substitute service work, and what the return of service must say. We are members of the Florida Association of Professional Process Servers (FAPPS) and NAPPS.
Dispatched From 9715 W Broward Blvd, Plantation
Plantation jobs go out from our own office, not a call center. Same-day dispatch is available for addresses in the city and the rest of Broward County.
Serving Individuals at Plantation Homes, Gated Communities and Condos
Plantation is mostly residential, and it is not one kind of residential. A process server in Plantation might go from a large-lot property in the west to a townhome cluster to a condo tower near the malls in the same afternoon. Each needs a different approach.
Plantation Acres and West Plantation
Plantation Acres has larger lots, longer driveways and some properties with gates of their own. Servers plan attempts for early morning and evening, when residents are most likely to be home, and note each attempt with date and time.
Jacaranda and Gated Communities
Jacaranda and many other Plantation neighborhoods sit behind guard gates. Under §48.031, a gatekeeper at a gated residential community must grant a process server access. We identify ourselves at the gate, log the visit and record any refusal on the return.
Condos and Apartments Near Central Plantation
Around Broward Boulevard, University Drive, Westfield Broward and Plantation Midtown, many residents live in condos and rental communities with front desks or call boxes. We work with the desk, confirm the unit and follow up at the times the subject is most likely in.
Personal and substitute service at a Plantation residence
The default under §48.031 is personal delivery to the person named on the summons. Florida also allows substitute service at the person's usual place of abode, by leaving the papers with someone 15 or older who lives there, after telling that person what the papers are. The return has to show who received them and how that person is connected to the household.
If no one answers after repeated attempts, the next step is usually a locate check rather than more driving. Our skip tracing in Plantation confirms whether the subject still lives at the address. When a person truly cannot be found, an Affidavit of Diligent Search may support service by publication.
Many residents are easier to reach at work. Plantation has large employers and retail around Broward Boulevard and the former Fashion Mall site, and a workplace serve is often faster than waiting at a house. We ask for an employer address whenever you have one.
Serving Businesses and Registered Agents in Plantation
When the defendant is a corporation or LLC, the person you serve is usually the company's registered agent, not the owner. Florida requires every corporation to name a registered agent and keep a registered office (§48.091). Service on corporations is governed by §48.081 and service on LLCs and partnerships by §48.062.
Step one is always a lookup on Sunbiz, the Florida Division of Corporations database. The entity's detail page shows its current registered agent name and address, its status, and its filing history. Pleadings are often drafted from an old record, and agents change more often than people expect.
| Registered agent | Florida address on Sunbiz | Guide |
|---|---|---|
| C T Corporation System (Wolters Kluwer) | 1200 South Pine Island Road, Plantation, FL 33324 | Serving CT Corporation |
| National Registered Agents, Inc. (NRAI, Wolters Kluwer) | 1200 South Pine Island Road, Plantation, FL 33324 | Serving NRAI |
Because both agents share one address a short drive from our office, it is one of the stops our Plantation process server team makes most often. The server delivers to the agent's authorized employee, records that employee's name and title, and notes the date and time on the return. Our 1200 South Pine Island Road page covers the address itself, and registered agent service in Plantation explains the full procedure.
Not every Plantation business uses a national agent. Many local companies list an owner, an accountant or a law office as agent. In that case we serve the named person at the listed address. If the agent has resigned or the entity is inactive, Chapter 48 sets out fallback options; our guide on what to do when a registered agent cannot be served walks through them.
Plantation Courts: The 17th Circuit and West Regional Courthouse
Plantation is in Broward County, which makes up Florida's 17th Judicial Circuit. Circuit and county court cases filed in Broward are handled by the 17th Circuit and the Broward Clerk of Courts. Plantation residents often end up in a case there, as do businesses headquartered or registered in the city.
The West Regional Courthouse sits at 100 N Pine Island Rd, Plantation, FL 33324, close to our office. Which matters go there depends on the case type and the division assigned, so check your case number and the Broward County Clerk of Courts site before you plan a filing or hearing.
For filings and record pulls, our court filing in Plantation service handles the run, and our Broward court filing guide explains e-filing versus in-person options. When a serve is done, the return of service is what gets filed. Under §48.21 it must state the date and time the papers were received and served, the manner of service, and the name of the person served.

How to Send a Plantation Serve
The fastest Plantation process server jobs start with a complete order. Before you submit, gather:
- The issued summons, subpoena or notice, plus the complaint or petition and any exhibits that must be served with it.
- The full name of the person or entity, and for a business, its exact name as it appears on Sunbiz.
- Every address you have: home, work, and for a company, the registered agent address.
- A physical description or photo of the person if you have one, plus vehicle details.
- Any deadline, such as a hearing date or a 120-day service window, so we can prioritize.
Upload everything on our Send Work page, email service@goldenprocess.com, or call (888) 766-7497. Local callers can also reach us at (954) 324-8742.
Once the job is assigned, you get updates as attempts are made. When service is complete, you receive the signed return of service, ready to file. If the subject cannot be served at the address you gave, we tell you what we found and recommend the next step instead of billing more attempts.
