Served 123 LLC handles end-to-end subpoena domestication throughout Indiana under the Uniform Interstate Depositions and Discovery Act — IC 34-44.5-1-1 et seq., adopted 2010 — covering all 92 counties. Indiana offers two domestication pathways: the UIDDA clerk-issued process (ministerial, no local counsel required) and Indiana Trial Rule 28(E) (judge-supervised, for contested matters). Served 123 LLC determines the right pathway for your matter and advances the applicable county filing fee.
Indiana's UIDDA statute does not set a uniform statewide filing fee. Some county clerks treat submissions as ministerial with little or no fee; others require opening a civil or miscellaneous case with fees of approximately $157 + $10 per additional respondent. Served 123 LLC confirms the applicable fee with the correct county clerk before every filing.
Indiana adopted the Uniform Interstate Depositions and Discovery Act (UIDDA), codified at IC 34-44.5-1-1 et seq., adopted 2010 (P.L.57-2010). The act allows out-of-state litigants to obtain Indiana discovery through a streamlined clerk-issued process, without initiating a new lawsuit or retaining local Indiana counsel for the initial filing.
Under IC 34-44.5, a party submits the foreign subpoena to the trial court clerk in the Indiana county where discovery is sought. The clerk promptly issues an Indiana subpoena incorporating the terms of the foreign subpoena, without judicial involvement. The Indiana subpoena must list all counsel of record and unrepresented parties with full contact information. Filing does not constitute an appearance in Indiana courts.
Indiana's Trial Rule 28(E) remains available as an alternative pathway — a judge-supervised process that opens a formal civil case and is preferred when enforcement is anticipated, when the county clerk is unfamiliar with or resistant to UIDDA, or when the matter is complex or sensitive. Trial Rule 28(E) filings typically require an Indiana-licensed attorney. Served 123 LLC helps determine the right pathway for every order and coordinates Indiana counsel when Rule 28(E) is warranted.
Served 123 LLC files with the trial court clerk and coordinates service in every one of Indiana's 92 counties — from Marion and Hamilton in the Indianapolis metro, to Lake, Porter, and St. Joseph in Northwest and North Indiana, to Allen in Fort Wayne, Vanderburgh in Evansville, and every county across the state. No matter where your witness or records custodian is located in Indiana, we handle it.
From intake to affidavit — Indiana's UIDDA process under IC 34-44.5, including pathway determination and county fee confirmation.
Use the order form at the top of this page or email info@served123.com. Include the originating state, the Indiana county where the recipient is located, and your foreign subpoena as a PDF. Let us know if you anticipate objections or enforcement — this informs pathway selection.
We assess your matter and recommend the appropriate pathway. For straightforward, uncontested document production and depositions, the UIDDA clerk-issued process (IC 34-44.5) is typically fastest and most cost-effective. For matters where enforcement is anticipated, objections are expected, or the county clerk requires a more formal procedure, Trial Rule 28(E) — which opens a formal civil case — may be the right choice. We coordinate Indiana counsel when Rule 28(E) is warranted.
We contact the trial court clerk in the applicable Indiana county to confirm current UIDDA procedures, the applicable filing fee, and any local requirements. With 92 counties, clerk familiarity with the UIDDA varies — we confirm procedures before every filing to prevent delays or rejections.
We prepare the Indiana subpoena form per IC 34-44.5-1-6, incorporating the terms used in the foreign subpoena and including the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of all counsel of record and any unrepresented parties.
We file the foreign subpoena and Indiana form with the trial court clerk of the correct Indiana county and advance the applicable filing fee. Per IC 34-44.5-1-5, under the UIDDA pathway, filing does not constitute a court appearance and no judge involvement is required. The clerk promptly issues the Indiana subpoena.
We coordinate service of the issued Indiana subpoena in compliance with Indiana Trial Rule 45 by a qualified non-party who is at least 18 years old, by delivering a copy to the named person. Witness fees and mileage may be applicable. Served 123 LLC covers all 92 Indiana counties statewide.
