Same-Day Emergency & Priority Rush Process Serving in NYC & NY
Immediate same-calendar-day dispatch for Orders to Show Cause, expiring statutes of limitation, temporary restraining orders, and departing witnesses across New York.
Order Same-Day / Rush Online ($95–$195)High-stakes litigation in New York rarely waits for standard turnaround windows. When a Supreme Court Commercial Division Justice signs an Order to Show Cause with a Temporary Restraining Order requiring personal service by 5:00 PM that afternoon, when a statute of limitations or CPLR § 306-b 120-day window is expiring, or when an out-of-state corporate executive is visiting a Midtown Manhattan hotel or airport for only a few hours, immediate dispatch is essential.
Same-day service can be requested near 60 Centre Street (Foley Square), 28 Liberty Street (Wall Street / FiDi), Midtown Manhattan, Downtown Brooklyn (360 Adams Street), Jamaica Queens, Mineola, White Plains, and downtown Albany (99 Washington Avenue / 80 State Street).
Same-Day Statutory Counter Delivery: CT Corp (28 Liberty St), CSC & NY DOS (Albany)
Emergency commercial litigation frequently requires immediate hand delivery to statutory agents before intake desks close at 4:30 PM or 5:00 PM Eastern Time. Same-Day Emergency Service ($195 flat rate) orders placed online before 1:00 PM ET can be attempted the same afternoon at CT Corporation System (28 Liberty Street, New York, NY 10005), Corporation Service Company (80 State Street, Albany, NY 12207), the New York Department of State (One Commerce Plaza, 99 Washington Avenue, Albany, NY 12231), or the New York Department of Financial Services (One State Street, New York, NY 10004).
Upon completion, the server executes a sworn CPLR § 306 Affidavit of Service (with NYC DCWP license number and electronic GPS coordinates for NYC venues) and returns the notarized PDF the same day so counsel can file proof of service on NYSCEF ahead of the court's deadline.
Strategic Evening, Early-Morning & Weekend Stakeout Windows
For evasive individual defendants in high-security Manhattan luxury condominiums, Brooklyn brownstones, or gated Long Island and Westchester estates, daytime attempts often fail. Our Priority Rush ($145) and Same-Day Emergency ($195) tiers prioritize targeted early-morning departures (6:30 AM – 8:30 AM), evening arrivals (6:30 PM – 9:30 PM), and Saturday attempts (recognizing NY General Business Law § 11, which strictly prohibits civil service of process on Sundays or on Saturday against persons who religiously observe Saturday as the Sabbath).

Same-Day / Rush — Statutory Q&A
- Is it legal to serve civil process on Sunday in New York State?
- No. Under New York General Business Law (GBL) § 11, all service or execution of legal process of any kind on Sunday is utterly void for any purpose whatsoever (except in specific criminal or emergency peace-preservation cases authorized by statute). Additionally, under GBL § 13, maliciously serving process on Saturday upon any person who keeps Saturday as holy time is a misdemeanor and renders the service void.
- How fast do I receive the notarized Affidavit of Service on a Same-Day Emergency order?
- As soon as the field attempt or completion occurs, you receive the executed, notarized CPLR § 306 Affidavit of Service in PDF format ready for immediate NYSCEF upload.
