If you require documents to be served upon individuals currently serving within Her Majesty's Prison, it is very important that you instruct a professional process server with experience in undertaking Legal Visits.
At Tracenet Legal Services we are regularly instructed to serve legal process upon individuals who are serving within the HMP Service and/or Police Custody. In these circumstances, a legal visit is required in order to attend the Prison and to meet with the individual as a Legal Visitor.
Although attending a legal visit is straightforward, quite often these visits can take a considerable time, especially when there are issues at the prison that may delay the appointment time or the process server in leaving. On average, the process of attending a legal visit will range between 1 and 1.5 hours. This would include the time required to clear security and vetting procedures.
