Streamlining Subpoena Domestication in Florida with Countrywide Process LLCDomesticating a Foreign Subpoena in FloridaStreamlining Subpoena Domestication in Florida with Countrywide Process LLC
Presenting a witness in court is a critical aspect of legal proceedings. However, legal matters are not confined within the borders of a single state, and violations can occur across state lines. In 2007, the Uniform Interstate Depositions and Discovery Act (UIDDA) was enacted to simplify the process of calling individuals from outside the trial state as witnesses.
Despite Florida having its own subpoena form for hearings or trials, the process varies when dealing with a foreign subpoena.
The UIDDA in Florida:
Before the UIDDA’s enactment in 2007, claimants wanting to summon an out-of-state witness faced the challenge of finding an attorney in that state and navigating its subpoena filing process. With the UIDDA, this changed. Now, one only needs to contact the court clerk to domesticate a foreign subpoena, leading to the issuance of a service subpoena binding the individual to its requirements.
While the process has been streamlined, challenges may still arise, given the need to understand the laws of both states. This underscores the importance of engaging a professional subpoena server.
At Countrywide Process LLC, we excel at domesticating your subpoena with precision. Forty-seven states, including Florida (in 2019), have adopted the UIDDA, making it simpler to gather vital information and advance your case.
Domesticating an Out-of-State Subpoena in Florida
Under the UIDDA, all states that have adopted this Act can domesticate and request a foreign subpoena from each other.
However, for states yet to adopt the Act, the process follows the regulations of the state where the witness resides.
All subpoenas must include details such as the county and court of issuance, the action’s name, the civil case number, and the deposition location.
Fortunately, Countrywide Process LLC can manage this process for you. Our services include:
Calculation of fees
Email updates
Three delivery packages (standard service, rush service, same-day service)
