Under Rule 1.1702, the Uniform Interstate Depositions and Discovery Act, a foreign subpoena is submitted in the county where discovery occurs, and the clerk signs a blank one. It requires no local attorney. Served 123 LLC handles the steps to domesticate a subpoena in Iowa.

Iowa Subpoena Domestication Order
Our quote covers document preparation, the clerk’s fee and service if ordered.
Rule 1.1702 borrows most of its working parts from rule 1.1701, Iowa’s general subpoena rule. These four stops take an out-of-state subpoena to a witness in any Iowa county.
The clerk in the discovery county provides a subpoena signed but otherwise blank, or a retained attorney authorized in Iowa issues and signs one; we handle the clerk step.
The blank is completed with the Iowa court, the foreign title and docket number, the command, the text of rules 1.1701(4) and (5), and all counsel and unrepresented parties; we handle this stop.
Our server, an adult who is not a party, delivers a copy to the witness anywhere in Iowa, with the tender of one day’s attendance and traveling fees if the subpoena requires attendance and the witness demands it, and we advance any tender owed on your quote.
Our server certifies a statement of the date and manner of service and the persons served, the proof that rule 1.1701(3)(c) and Iowa Code section 622.64 call for, and it comes back to you with the served copy.
These are the words of rule 1.1702, the uniform act (UIDDA) in the Iowa Rules of Civil Procedure, on who issues the Iowa subpoena, what the completed subpoena holds, how it is served and where a motion goes.
To obtain issuance of a subpoena under this rule, a party to a proceeding in a foreign jurisdiction must either: (1) request a signed, blank subpoena from the clerk of an Iowa court in the county in which discovery is to be conducted pursuant to rule 1.1701(2); or (2) arrange for an attorney who is retained by that party and who is licensed or otherwise authorized to practice law in Iowa to issue and sign the subpoena as an officer of the court pursuant to rule 1.1701(2).
When a party submits a foreign subpoena to a clerk of court in this state, the clerk, pursuant to rule 1.1701(2), shall provide the party with a subpoena that is signed but otherwise blank.
A subpoena under this rule must: (1) Comply with rule 1.1701(1), provided, however, that for purposes of rule 1.1701(1)(a)(1), the Iowa court, in the county in which discovery is to be conducted, shall be listed as the court from which the subpoena is issued, and for purposes of rule 1.1701(1)(a)(2), the title of the action and its docket number from the foreign jurisdiction shall be used; (2) Contain or be accompanied by the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of all counsel of record in the proceeding to which the subpoena relates and of any party not represented by counsel; and (3) Include a copy of the foreign subpoena as an attachment.

A motion to the court for a protective order or to enforce, quash, or modify a subpoena issued under rule 1.1702(2) must comply with the rules or statutes of this state and be submitted to the court in the county in which discovery is to be conducted.
The Iowa Supreme Court decided In re Subpoenas Issued to Dethmers Manufacturing Co., No. 21-1652 (Iowa Feb. 10, 2023), after Mittapalli, a party to a suit pending in another state, served subpoenas on an Iowa company that was not a party. The court cited “Iowa R. Civ. P. 1.1702 (permitting parties to foreign proceedings to issue subpoenas in Iowa).” It reversed the district court: “We conclude that these subpoenas imposed undue burdens on Dethmers. Dethmers’s motion to quash the subpoenas should have been granted.”
The court adopted “a test that federal courts apply under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 45, on which rule 1.1701 is modeled,” weighing six factors: the relevance of the information, the requesting party’s need for the documents, the breadth of the request, the time period it covers, how particularly it describes the documents, and the burden it imposes. It added: “This opinion does not preclude Mittapalli from issuing different subpoenas to Dethmers in the future.” No reported Iowa appellate decision has yet interpreted the clerk route of rule 1.1702(2)(b) or the file-opening provisions of rule 1.1702(5).

Rule 1.1702(3): “A subpoena issued under rule 1.1702(2) must be served in compliance with rule 1.1701(3).” That rule opens: “Any person who is at least 18 years old and not a party may serve a subpoena.” It names no license, no appointment and no sheriff requirement. Our server meets that test.
Rule 1.1702(3); Rule 1.1701(3)(a)Rule 1.1701(3)(a) calls for “delivering a copy to the named person.” Under rule 1.1701(3)(b), “A subpoena may be served at any place: (1) Within the state of Iowa; (2) That the court authorizes on motion and for good cause, if a statute so provides.” The copy handed over is the Iowa subpoena with the foreign subpoena attached.
Rule 1.1701(3)(a)–(b)Rule 1.1701(3)(a) on tender: “Serving a subpoena requires delivering a copy to the named person and, if the subpoena requires that person’s attendance and, if demanded, tendering the fees for one day’s attendance and traveling fees to and from the court.” So no tender is owed on a subpoena that requires no attendance, or until the witness demands one. Iowa Code section 622.74: “Witnesses, except parties to the action, are entitled to receive in advance, if demanded when subpoenaed, their traveling fees to and from the court, with their fees for one day’s attendance. At the commencement of each day after the first, they are further entitled, on demand, to receive the legal fees for that day in advance. If not thus paid, they are not compelled to attend or remain as witnesses.” We advance any tender owed on your quote.
Rule 1.1701(3)(a); Iowa Code § 622.74Rule 1.1701(3)(c): “Proving service, when necessary, requires filing with the issuing court a statement showing the date and manner of service and the names of persons served. The server must certify the statement in accordance with Iowa Code section 622.1.” Section 622.64 adds: “When a subpoena is served by any person other than the sheriff or constable, proof thereof shall be shown by affidavit; but no costs for serving the same shall be allowed.” Under section 622.1, “the person may attest the matter by an unsworn written statement if that statement recites that the person certifies the matter to be true under penalty of perjury under the laws of this state, states the date of the statement’s execution and is subscribed by that person.” Our server signs that proof, and it comes back to you with the served copy.
Rule 1.1701(3)(c); Iowa Code §§ 622.1, 622.64Section 622.69 sets one sum for “each full day’s attendance,” a smaller one “for each attendance less than a full day,” and “mileage expenses pursuant to section 602.1509 for each mile actually traveled.” Section 602.1509 limits expenses to an amount “not to exceed a maximum amount established by the supreme court.” Section 622.104 speaks to depositions and to what a subpoenaed witness is owed: “A witness appearing before an officer directed to take the witness’ deposition is entitled to the same fees and mileage as a witness in the court in which the deposition is to be used. If subpoenaed, such a witness is entitled to fees and mileage in advance, as in other cases.”
Iowa Code §§ 622.69, 602.1509, 622.104Rule 1.1701(4)(d)(1) opens “On timely motion, the issuing court must quash or modify a subpoena that:” and its second ground reads “Requires a person who is neither a party nor a party’s officer to travel more than 50 miles from where that person resides, is employed, or regularly transacts business in person, except that a person may be ordered to attend trial anywhere within the state in which the person is served with a subpoena;”. Under rule 1.1701(7), “A nonparty’s failure to obey must be excused if the subpoena purports to require the nonparty to attend or produce at a place outside the limits of rule 1.1701(4)(d)(1)2.” Served 123 LLC checks the place named in the subpoena against that limit before service.
Rule 1.1701(4)(d)(1), (7)“If the subpoena commands the production of documents, electronically stored information, or tangible things or the inspection of premises before trial, then before it is served, a notice must be served on each party.” Rule 1.1701(4)(c) then opens the event to all sides: “Any party shall be permitted to attend at the same time and place and for the same purposes specified in the subpoena. No prior notice of intent to attend is required.” The notice to the parties goes out first; service on the records holder follows it. The rule sets no count of days for that notice. Tell us under Special Instructions when notice went out.
Rule 1.1701(3)(a), (4)(c)Rule 1.1702(6): “A motion to the court for a protective order or to enforce, quash, or modify a subpoena issued under rule 1.1702(2) must comply with the rules or statutes of this state and be submitted to the court in the county in which discovery is to be conducted. Any fee paid in connection with the filing of a motion under rule 1.1702(6) shall be recoverable by the successful party against the losing party. In addition, the provisions of rule 1.517 apply to motions brought under this rule. An attorney who files such a motion or a resistance thereto must be eligible to appear in the courts of Iowa.” Rule 1.1702(4) brings in the grounds in rule 1.1701(4)(d)(1).

Rule 1.1701(4)(b)(1) speaks to the holder of the records: “A person commanded to produce documents, electronically stored information, or tangible things, or to permit the inspection of premises, need not appear in person at the place of production or inspection unless also commanded to appear for a deposition, hearing, or trial.” Rule 1.1701(5)(a)(1): “A person responding to a subpoena to produce documents must produce them as they are kept in the ordinary course of business or must organize and label them to correspond to the categories in the demand.” Rule 1.1701(5)(a)(2): “If a subpoena does not specify a form for producing electronically stored information, the person responding must produce it in a form or forms in which it is ordinarily maintained or in a reasonably usable form or forms.”
Rule 1.1701(4)(b)(1), (5)(a)(1)–(2)Rule 1.1701(4)(b)(2): “A person commanded to produce documents or tangible things or to permit inspection may serve on the party or attorney designated in the subpoena a written objection to inspecting, copying, testing or sampling any or all of the materials or to inspecting the premises, or to producing electronically stored information in the form or forms requested. The objection must be served before the earlier of the time specified for compliance or 14 days after the subpoena is served.” On an objection: “At any time, on notice to the commanded person, the serving party may move the issuing court for an order compelling production or inspection.” And: “These acts may be required only as directed in the order, and the order must protect a person who is neither a party nor a party’s officer from significant expense resulting from compliance.”
Rule 1.1701(4)(b)(2)Section 622.10(1): “A practicing attorney, counselor, physician, surgeon, physician assistant, advanced registered nurse practitioner, mental health professional, or the stenographer or confidential clerk of any such person, who obtains information by reason of the person’s employment, or a member of the clergy shall not be allowed, in giving testimony, to disclose any confidential communication properly entrusted to the person in the person’s professional capacity, and necessary and proper to enable the person to discharge the functions of the person’s office according to the usual course of practice or discipline.” Section 228.6(4)(a): “Mental health information may be disclosed in a civil or administrative proceeding in which an individual eighteen years of age or older or an individual’s legal representative or, in the case of a deceased individual, a party claiming or defending through a beneficiary of the individual, offers the individual’s mental or emotional condition as an element of a claim or a defense.”
Iowa Code §§ 622.10(1), 228.6(4)(a)Section 622.10(2) lifts the privilege in two situations, waiver and a condition in issue: “The prohibition does not apply to cases where the person in whose favor the prohibition is made waives the rights conferred; nor does the prohibition apply to physicians or surgeons, physician assistants, advanced registered nurse practitioners, mental health professionals, or to the stenographer or confidential clerk of any physicians or surgeons, physician assistants, advanced registered nurse practitioners, or mental health professionals, in a civil action in which the condition of the person in whose favor the prohibition is made is an element or factor of the claim or defense of the person or of any party claiming through or under the person. The evidence is admissible upon trial of the action only as it relates to the condition alleged.” On timely motion, a subpoena that “Requires disclosure of privileged or other protected matter, if no exception or waiver applies” must be quashed or modified under rule 1.1701(4)(d)(1).
Iowa Code § 622.10(2); Rule 1.1701(4)(d)(1)Where Iowa’s rules of evidence apply, a written certification can stand in for the custodian’s live testimony. Iowa Rule of Evidence 5.902(11) accepts “The original or a copy of a domestic record that meets the requirements of rule 5.803(6)(A) to (C) as shown by a certification of the custodian or another qualified person that complies with a federal statute, a rule prescribed by the United States Supreme Court, a statute of Iowa or any other state or territory of the United States, or other Iowa Supreme Court rule.” Rule 5.803(6) asks that “The record was made at or near the time by—or from information transmitted by—someone with knowledge;” that it “was kept in the course of a regularly conducted activity of a business, organization, occupation, or calling, whether or not for profit;” and that “Making the record was a regular practice of that activity;”. The side using those copies carries a duty of its own: “Before the trial or hearing, the proponent must give an adverse party reasonable written notice of the intent to offer the record—and must make the record and certification available for inspection—so that the party has a fair opportunity to challenge them.”
Iowa R. Evid. 5.902(11), 5.803(6)A hospital or clinic holding the records answers to federal law as well, and it treats an order and a subpoena differently. Under 45 C.F.R. 164.512(e)(1)(i), a covered entity may disclose “In response to an order of a court or administrative tribunal, provided that the covered entity discloses only the protected health information expressly authorized by such order.” Paragraph (e)(1)(ii) covers a “subpoena, discovery request, or other lawful process, that is not accompanied by an order of a court or administrative tribunal,” and requires one of two things: “The covered entity receives satisfactory assurance, as described in paragraph (e)(1)(iii) of this section, from the party seeking the information that reasonable efforts have been made by such party to ensure that the individual who is the subject of the protected health information that has been requested has been given notice of the request; or” “The covered entity receives satisfactory assurance, as described in paragraph (e)(1)(iv) of this section, from the party seeking the information that reasonable efforts have been made by such party to secure a qualified protective order that meets the requirements of paragraph (e)(1)(v) of this section.”
45 C.F.R. § 164.512(e)(1)(i)–(ii)A notice assurance shows that “The party requesting such information has made a good faith attempt to provide written notice to the individual (or, if the individual’s location is unknown, to mail a notice to the individual’s last known address);” that “The notice included sufficient information about the litigation or proceeding in which the protected health information is requested to permit the individual to raise an objection to the court or administrative tribunal; and” and that “The time for the individual to raise objections to the court or administrative tribunal has elapsed, and:” “No objections were filed; or” “All objections filed by the individual have been resolved by the court or the administrative tribunal and the disclosures being sought are consistent with such resolution.”
45 C.F.R. § 164.512(e)(1)(iii)For an order assurance under (e)(1)(iv), the statement shows that “The parties to the dispute giving rise to the request for information have agreed to a qualified protective order and have presented it to the court or administrative tribunal with jurisdiction over the dispute; or” “The party seeking the protected health information has requested a qualified protective order from such court or administrative tribunal.” Under (e)(1)(v), that order “Prohibits the parties from using or disclosing the protected health information for any purpose other than the litigation or proceeding for which such information was requested” and “Requires the return to the covered entity or destruction of the protected health information (including all copies made) at the end of the litigation or proceeding.”
45 C.F.R. § 164.512(e)(1)(iv)–(v)Paragraph (e)(1)(vi) gives the holder a way around those assurances: “a covered entity may disclose protected health information in response to lawful process described in paragraph (e)(1)(ii) of this section without receiving satisfactory assurance under paragraph (e)(1)(ii)(A) or (B) of this section, if the covered entity makes reasonable efforts to provide notice to the individual sufficient to meet the requirements of paragraph (e)(1)(iii) of this section or to seek a qualified protective order sufficient to meet the requirements of paragraph (e)(1)(v) of this section.”
45 C.F.R. § 164.512(e)(1)(vi)What a subpoena brings in is shared on request. Rule 1.1701(6): “When a party on whose behalf a subpoena under rule 1.1701(1) has been issued thereby creates or obtains copies of designated electronically stored information, books, papers, documents or tangible things, that party shall make available a duplicate of such copies at the request of any other party, who shall be responsible for payment of the reasonable cost of making the copies.” Rule 1.1702(4) applies it to a subpoena issued on a foreign one.

Not to obtain one. The party makes the request under rule 1.1702(2)(a), as the rule section quotes, and getting the subpoena and filling it in does not count as appearing in an Iowa court. An attorney who issues one must meet the condition that section quotes, and one who files a rule 1.1702(6) motion must be eligible to appear in Iowa courts.
One case at a time, beside an Iowa lawyer. Admission under chapter 31 has to be in place before EDMS registration, and rule 16.304 leaves that application to the in-state attorney in the proceeding. Rule 16.302(1) reaches Iowa attorneys and self-represented persons as well, subject to chapter 16’s exceptions. That is a lawyer’s own step; our order covers the papers and the clerk step. The filing card quotes each rule.
No. It is a court rule, as the rule section explains, and its history line lists one report, dated December 6, 2012. Rule 1.1701, which it works through, dates from a 1997 report, amended in 2001, 2008 and 2009. Iowa Code section 602.4201 lets the Supreme Court prescribe the rules of procedure.
Rule 1.1702(2)(a) offers two routes, and the rule section quotes both in full: a blank subpoena signed by the clerk of the discovery county, or one issued by an attorney the party retains, on the conditions quoted there. The route shows where each one fits.
Usually Polk, though the slice of Des Moines inside Warren County goes to Warren. Rule 1.1702(2)(a)(1) looks to where the deposition or production happens, not where a party lives or the case is pending, so a deposition in Cedar Rapids goes to Linn County and one in Davenport to Scott County. The county finder covers all 99 counties and every city in them.
No. Under rule 1.1702(2)(b) the clerk provides “a subpoena that is signed but otherwise blank,” and rule 1.1701(2) says the party “must complete it before service.” On your order, we prepare each item rule 1.1702(2)(c) requires. The route shows each step.
No. Under rule 1.1702(2)(d) the official forms are enough but not required; see the rule section. What counts is content. A subpoena for a deposition must state the method for recording the testimony, under rule 1.1701(1), and every Iowa subpoena on a foreign one carries the foreign subpoena as an attachment, whichever form is used.
Only when the clerk is asked for the subpoena, or later on a rule 1.1702(6) motion if none exists. Under rule 1.1702(5), a lawyer who issues it needs no file or docket number at all. Asking the clerk for a blank subpoena is what triggers a file and its fee. The rule section has the text.
No. Rule 1.1701(3)(a) leaves service to any adult who is not a party, and rule 1.1702(3) carries that rule over to a subpoena issued on a foreign one. No license or sheriff is needed, so a private process server qualifies. Ours meets the rule; the service section sets it out.
No. The clerk’s county decides where the subpoena issues, not where it is served. Rule 1.1701(3)(b) reaches anywhere in the state, so a witness who lives or works in another county can be handed it there. Any other place needs a court order for good cause, and only where a statute allows one. See where and how it is served.
Not on its own. The Iowa subpoena is what gets served, and rule 1.1702(2)(c)(3) requires it to “Include a copy of the foreign subpoena as an attachment.” Serving the out-of-state paper without an Iowa subpoena from the clerk or an Iowa attorney leaves the witness with nothing issued under Iowa authority. The rule section lists what the subpoena must contain.
The server. Rule 1.1701(3)(c) has the server certify in the form Iowa Code section 622.1 sets, and when necessary that statement is filed with the issuing court. Section 622.64 adds its own form for a private server, an affidavit, and allows that server no costs. Our server signs it; the proof card quotes both.
Yes, and the order matters. Under rule 1.1701(3)(a), for records, things or premises sought before trial, each party is told first, and only then does the holder get served. Under rule 1.1701(4)(c), every party may also show up for the production on the date set, with no word ahead of time needed. The notice card has the text.
Only on the witness’s demand. No money has to go with the subpoena unless it requires attendance and the witness asks, under rule 1.1701(3)(a). Iowa Code section 622.74 adds the consequence: a nonparty who asks in advance and goes unpaid is not compelled to attend. See the tender card for what we advance.
A daily attendance sum plus mileage comes from Iowa Code section 622.69, and section 602.1509 ties the expense to a ceiling set by the Supreme Court. Section 622.104 looks to the court in which a deposition is to be used and covers payment in advance if the witness is subpoenaed; the witness fees section quotes it.
It is a ground for a timely motion to quash or modify, not an automatic cap, and it covers anyone who is not a party or a party’s officer. The line runs 50 miles from home, work or regular in-person business, under rule 1.1701(4)(d)(1). Rule 1.1701(7) excuses a nonparty who does not obey a subpoena set past that line. The travel card has the text and the trial exception.
An Iowa court, and the county matters. Under rule 1.1702(6), whether the ask is to enforce, quash, modify or protect, it goes to the county of the discovery under Iowa’s own rules or statutes, even when the lawsuit itself sits in another state. The motions card has the text.
No, unless the subpoena also commands appearance at a deposition, hearing or trial, under rule 1.1701(4)(b)(1). The responder produces documents as they are kept in the ordinary course of business, or organizes and labels them to match the categories in the demand. The records card quotes both duties.
Yes. Rule 1.1701(4)(a) tells whoever issues and serves a subpoena to take reasonable steps against undue burden or expense, and undue burden is itself a ground to quash or modify. In 2023 the Iowa Supreme Court ordered subpoenas issued for an out-of-state suit quashed on that ground, weighing six factors the rule section lists.
When the first of two dates arrives. Rule 1.1701(4)(b)(2) requires service before the time set for compliance or 14 days after service, whichever comes first. After a timely objection, the serving party’s remedy is a motion to compel in the issuing court, on notice to the person commanded. The objections card quotes the rule.
Served 123 LLC prices the whole job in a single written quote: papers, the clerk’s charge and any service you order. Rule 1.1702(5) puts a file-opening fee on the clerk route, while an attorney-issued subpoena opens no file unless a motion follows. Any witness money depends on the subpoena and on a demand; we advance any tender owed on your quote, as the tender card explains.
No. Rule 1.1701 sets no fixed number of days; it asks for a reasonable time to comply, and a subpoena that allows less can be quashed on timely motion under rule 1.1701(4)(d)(1). For records, the 14-day objection window also runs from service. Leave room for both when you pick the date. See the Too Little Time trap.
The side that wins. Whichever party brought the motion, rule 1.1702(6) shifts its filing fee onto the party that loses. Rule 1.517, on failing to make disclosures or discovery, applies to these motions too. The wording sits in the motions card, with the rest of the subsection.
Not in rule 1.1701(2), which sets no count of days for the clerk. We start the papers once your quote is paid and arrange service when you order it. Give your date in the Requested Deadline field so we can plan around it. The rule section quotes it, and the route shows each stop along the way.
One written quote covers document preparation, the clerk’s fee and service, when you order service.
