Served 123 LLC domesticates and serves out-of-state subpoenas across all four Alaska judicial districts under the Uniform Interstate Depositions and Discovery Act (Alaska Civil Rule 45.1). We prepare the Alaska subpoena, submit it to the clerk, and serve under Rule 45(c).
Under Alaska Civil Rule 45(d)(1) a served recipient can object within 10 days — shorter than many states. Clean, well-timed service and a court-ready proof of service are what keep your subpoena enforceable. We handle both.

To domesticate a subpoena in Alaska, submit your out-of-state subpoena to the clerk of court for the judicial district where discovery is sought. Under Alaska Civil Rule 45.1 the clerk promptly issues an Alaska subpoena that mirrors your foreign subpoena — no motion, no hearing, and no local counsel. Alaska requires no reciprocity and no special application form; the issued subpoena is then served under Civil Rule 45(c).
Alaska adopted the Uniform Interstate Depositions and Discovery Act by Supreme Court Order No. 1853, effective October 15, 2015, and implemented it as a court rule — Alaska Civil Rule 45.1, “Interstate Depositions and Discovery.” (The same order amended Civil Rules 28 and 45(d).) It lets an out-of-state litigant obtain an enforceable Alaska subpoena for depositions, testimony, records, and inspection — without a motion, a hearing, or, for issuance, local counsel.
Under Rule 45.1(b), you submit the foreign subpoena to the clerk of court for any judicial district where discovery is sought, and the clerk “shall promptly issue” a matching Alaska subpoena. The rule states plainly that the request does not constitute an appearance in Alaska’s courts. Served 123 LLC manages every step across all four of Alaska’s judicial districts.
From intake to proof of service — exactly what happens on every Alaska order.
Use the order form above or email info@served123.com. Include the originating state, the Alaska judicial district or court location where discovery is sought, and your subpoena as a PDF. We confirm the matter qualifies under Rule 45.1 at intake.
We prepare the clerk-ready Alaska subpoena on the court’s official form (CIV-110 / CIV-111) so that it incorporates the terms of your foreign subpoena and carries the names, addresses, and phone numbers of all counsel of record, exactly as Rule 45.1(b)(3) requires. No reciprocity citation and no separate application form are needed in Alaska.
We submit the foreign subpoena to the clerk of court for the correct judicial district. Under Rule 45.1(b) the clerk “shall promptly issue” the Alaska subpoena. Issuance is administrative — no motion, no hearing, no appearance — typically within 1–3 business days. Court costs are advanced and included.
Our authorized representative retrieves the issued Alaska subpoena in person from the court location, confirms it is enforceable, and sends you a copy. No court appearance is required.
We dispatch through our Alaska process-server network under Civil Rule 45(c), with up to three diligent attempts per address. Statutory witness and mileage fees are tendered with personal service (or service by court-mailed certified mail where appropriate) and quoted in advance.
You receive a signed, notarized, court-ready proof of service confirming completion in full compliance with Alaska’s rules — ready for immediate filing in your home-state case.
Before October 2015, getting Alaska discovery for an out-of-state case meant a motion and a commission. Rule 45.1 replaced that with a single clerk filing.
The complete Rule 45.1 framework, plus the Rule 45 provisions that govern service, fees, and the 10-day objection window — the authority we work from on every Alaska order.

Rule text verified against Alaska Supreme Court Order No. 1853 and the Alaska Rules of Civil Procedure at the time of writing. Rules may be amended by the Alaska Supreme Court; we confirm current rules on every order.
A clerk's refusal to issue or a motion to quash can cost weeks and blow your discovery window. These are the Alaska-specific errors we screen out before anything is filed.
Submitted to the wrong one of Alaska's four districts. We file where the witness is located.
The Alaska subpoena doesn't mirror the foreign subpoena's terms as Rule 45.1(b)(3)(A) requires. We mirror them exactly.
Names, addresses, and phone numbers for all counsel and unrepresented parties are left off (45.1(b)(3)(B)). We attach the full set.
Service is timed so the recipient's 10-day objection window collapses the discovery date. We time service correctly.
Personal service under Rule 45(c) requires tendering the attendance fee and mileage. We tender them.
Assuming a local case or counsel is needed to issue. Issuance is administrative; the request is not an appearance.
End-to-end handling — no gaps, no hidden handoffs.
We confirm your matter qualifies under Alaska Civil Rule 45.1 and that the paperwork is complete before anything is filed.
We draft the clerk-ready Alaska subpoena that incorporates your foreign subpoena's terms and carries all counsel contact information per Rule 45.1(b)(3).
We submit to the clerk for the correct judicial district and retrieve the issued subpoena in person, typically within 1-3 days.
