Subpoena Service Hollywood — Golden Process Service
Subpoena Service Hollywood handled by Golden Process Service — a certified Florida process server working Hollywood and the rest of Broward County every day. Subpoenas in Hollywood are usually urgent — a deposition is already calendared.

Quick answer
Subpoena service in Hollywood is personal delivery of a deposition, hearing, trial or duces tecum subpoena to the named witness, with any required witness fee tendered at the time of service. Golden Process Service serves Hollywood subpoenas under Rule 1.410 and Chapter 48 and returns a signed affidavit in time to be useful.
What Subpoena Service Hollywood Covers
Golden Process Service has handled subpoena service across Broward County since 2018. In Hollywood specifically, Hollywood sits on the Broward-Dade line with its own regional courthouse on Hollywood Boulevard, so jobs here often touch both county systems.
The documents we handle for Hollywood clients include:
- deposition subpoenas
- trial and hearing subpoenas
- subpoena duces tecum
- non-party production requests
- out-of-state commission subpoenas
Every Hollywood assignment comes back with a signed, notarised return of service naming the date, time, address, method and the person served. That affidavit is the only part of this work a judge ever sees, so it is the part we treat as the deliverable.

- Subpoena Service in Hollywood runs under Rule 1.410, Florida Rules of Civil Procedure, and the details of that statute are where most returns get challenged.

The Florida Law Behind Subpoena Service
Subpoena Service in Florida is governed by Chapter 48, Florida Statutes. Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.410 governs subpoenas in civil cases. A subpoena commanding attendance must be served in the manner provided for service of process under Chapter 48, and where witness fees or mileage are required they must be tendered at the time of service — a step that is skipped often enough to get subpoenas quashed.
Golden Process Service servers are certified in the circuits they work, which for Hollywood means the courts covering Broward County. Filings and returns route through South Regional Courthouse, 3550 Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood, FL 33021. You can confirm case status directly with the City of Hollywood.

How Subpoena Service Works, Step by Step
1. Deadline check
We work backwards from the deposition or hearing date so the witness gets the reasonable notice Rule 1.410 contemplates.
2. Witness fee tendered
Where a fee and mileage are required, we tender them at service and record it on the return — the single most common defect we see on other servers' returns.
3. Personal service on the witness
Subpoenas go to the named witness. For a corporate records custodian in Hollywood, we identify the right person rather than leaving it at a front desk.
4. Return filed fast
You get the affidavit quickly, because a subpoena return that lands after the deposition is worth nothing.
What Subpoena Service Costs in Hollywood
Golden Process Service prices Hollywood work at a flat rate per address rather than by the attempt, so a difficult serve does not turn into an open invoice. The rate includes up to three attempts at varied times, the signed affidavit, and status updates as the job moves.
Rush and same-day tiers are available across Broward County. Registered agent serves are flat-rate. The full table, including the five service zones and three speed tiers, is on the rates page — or call (888) 766-7497 and we will quote your Hollywood job directly.

Does a witness fee have to be paid when serving a subpoena in Florida?
For a subpoena commanding attendance, yes — the statutory witness fee and mileage are tendered at service. Golden Process Service advances the fee on your behalf and itemises it on the invoice and the return.
Can Golden Process Service serve a subpoena duces tecum in Hollywood?
Yes. Golden Process Service serves subpoenas duces tecum on Hollywood records custodians, including hospitals, banks, employers and corporate offices, and can follow up on the production if the custodian goes quiet.
Who can serve a subpoena in Florida?
A certified process server appointed by the circuit, a sheriff, or a special process server appointed by the court. Golden Process Service uses certified servers for every Hollywood subpoena, so the return is not open to a standing challenge.
What if the witness refuses to accept the subpoena?
Refusal is not a defence. If a witness in Hollywood refuses to take the documents, our server identifies them, announces the nature of the papers, leaves them in their presence and documents it — which constitutes valid service under Florida law.
