Served 123 LLC handles UIDDA-compliant subpoena domestication throughout Arizona — preparation, Superior Court filing, clerk issuance, blank subpoena completion, and service of process in all 15 counties under Ariz. R. Civ. P. 45.1 and ARS § 12-2551.
Unlike most UIDDA states, Arizona's clerk issues a signed but blank subpoena that must be completed before service. Served 123 LLC handles this correctly on every order.
Arizona adopted the UIDDA effective January 1, 2013, codified at Arizona Revised Statutes § 12-2551 through § 12-2556 and implemented via Arizona Rule of Civil Procedure 45.1. This allows out-of-state litigants to domesticate subpoenas without a court motion, hearing, or local counsel in most cases.
The foreign subpoena must include the exact phrase "For the Issuance of an Arizona Subpoena Under Ariz. R. Civ. P. 45.1" below the case number. Missing this language is the most common cause of clerk rejection. Arizona also has a unique process: the clerk issues a signed but blank subpoena that must be completed before service.
From intake to affidavit — here's exactly what happens on every Arizona order under Ariz. R. Civ. P. 45.1.
