Several factors influence the final process serving fees. These include the complexity and volume of documents, the urgency of service, the distance to the service location from our Nairobi office, and any specific court requirements or local regulations that may apply. For instance, serving documents in remote areas outside of Nairobi may incur additional travel and logistical costs. We ensure that all fees are clearly itemized, covering efforts such as locating the defendant, multiple attempts at service, mileage, and filing proof of service with the relevant court, such as the Magistrates Court.
