Process Server One is a leading expert at the domestication of foreign Subpoenas offering nationwide services. Missouri has not enacted the Uniform Interstate Depositions and Discovery Act (or UIDDA), making it a non-UIDDA state. The state of Missouri has its own rules and regulations regarding the domestication and service of out-of-state subpoenas (subpoenas originating in courts outside of Missouri).

Fast and accurate domestication and service of foreign subpoenas in Missouri requires an experienced professional. Process Server One has more than 30 years of experience domesticating and serving foreign subpoenas nationwide, including more than 2,000 domestication of foreign subpoena assignments to and from Missouri.

ProcessServerOne.com stays up to date with changes to the legal system in Missouri to ensure the fastest and most accurate domestication and service of your foreign subpoenas. Laws of the discovery stage vary state to state, and Missouri is one of our most visited locations nationwide. As a non-UIDDA state, Missouri has a much more complex and intricate legal system than most states. Generally, the domestication of a foreign subpoena in Missouri follows the process of issuance request to the local court for the subpoena requirements of the asking court. We oversee and manage this process for you.

There are three common types of subpoenas:

  • Subpoena Duces Tecum: for the production of documents, or requires someone to submit relevant documents, records, or evidence related to the case
  • Subpoena Ad Testificandum: also called Witness Subpoena, for the witness to appear in court or submit relevant documents when they testify
  • Deposition Subpoena: requires the witness to appear at a deposition to testify and produce documents, or for both

How Does Foreign Subpoena Domestication Work in the State of Missouri?

In Missouri, traditional domestication methods to serve foreign subpoenas are utilized. An individual may be summoned and compelled, in like manner and under the same penalties as are provided for a witness before a court, to give his or her deposition, testimony, or requested documents, in a cause pending in a court of any other state or government. Permission from the court where the case is being heard must be obtained. The court is asked to issue a ‘Commission’ that will authorize the deposition, testimony, or submission of documents in Missouri. The ‘Commission’ will authorize a justice of the peace or a notary public to issue a subpoena in accordance with the Missouri Rules of Civil Procedure to require the attendance of the individual or company to appear in court, appear for a deposition, and/or produce specific records in his or her possession or control. The authorized individual will draft and issue the subpoena to be served.

Here’s How Missouri Foreign Subpoena Domestication and Missouri (non-UIDDA) Foreign Subpoena Service Works

Most often, foreign subpoenas (subpoenas originating from out-of-state courts) are duces tecum. They seek documents from a record holder located in another state. However, in some cases, foreign subpoenas are ad testificandum, a court summons to appear and give oral testimony for use at a hearing or trial.

 In both instances, failure to comply with Missouri rules and processes will result in legal punishment for the recipient of the subpoena. At ProcessServerOne.com, we provide fast, accurate, and reliable service by experienced Missouri process servers, whether a subpoena must be issued in another state, processed from another state or another federal district court, or located in-state.
