Served 123 LLC domesticates and serves out-of-state subpoenas across all 82 Mississippi counties under the Uniform Interstate Depositions and Discovery Act (Miss. Code §§ 11-59-1 to 11-59-15). We prepare the Mississippi subpoena, file with the clerk of court in the discovery county, and serve under Rule 45.
Every Mississippi production subpoena must state on its face that production cannot occur until the tenth day after service (Miss. R. Civ. P. 45(d)(2)(A)) — and the 2025 official forms make that notice mandatory. We build it in so nothing is bounced at the clerk's window.

To domesticate a subpoena in Mississippi, submit your out-of-state subpoena to the clerk of court in the county where discovery is sought. Under Miss. Code § 11-59-5 the clerk promptly issues a matching Mississippi subpoena on the official subpoena forms (Forms 6–8) — no hearing and, in most cases, no local counsel. Mississippi imposes no reciprocity requirement; the subpoena need only mirror the foreign subpoena's terms and list all counsel, and a production subpoena must show the ten-day hold on its face.
Mississippi enacted the Uniform Interstate Depositions and Discovery Act as Miss. Code §§ 11-59-1 to 11-59-15, effective July 1, 2011 (Laws 2011, ch. 347). The Act applies to civil actions and lets an out-of-state litigant obtain an enforceable Mississippi subpoena for depositions, testimony, and records — without a motion, a hearing, or (in most cases) local counsel.
Under § 11-59-5, the foreign subpoena is submitted to a clerk of court in the Mississippi county where discovery is sought, and the clerk “shall promptly issue” a matching Mississippi subpoena. The statute is explicit that the request does not constitute an appearance in Mississippi's courts. The issued subpoena must incorporate the foreign subpoena's terms and be accompanied by the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of all counsel of record and any unrepresented party.
The subpoena is served under Miss. R. Civ. P. 45, which also supplies Mississippi's official subpoena forms — Forms 6, 7, and 8, adopted by the Supreme Court in 2025 — and requires the ten-day production hold to appear on the subpoena's face. Served 123 LLC manages every step across all 82 counties.
From intake to affidavit — exactly what happens on every Mississippi order.
Use the order form above or email info@served123.com. Include the originating state, the Mississippi county where discovery is sought, and your subpoena as a PDF. We confirm UIDDA eligibility and the correct county at intake.
We prepare the Mississippi subpoena on the official Form 6, 7, or 8 for your matter, incorporating the foreign subpoena's terms and the contact information for all counsel and unrepresented parties per § 11-59-5(c) — with the ten-day production hold stated on the face.
We submit the foreign subpoena to the clerk of court in the discovery county, who promptly issues the Mississippi subpoena. The request is not an appearance, and issuance typically takes 1–3 business days.
Our authorized representative retrieves the issued Mississippi subpoena in person from the clerk's office, confirms it is enforceable, and sends you a copy. No court appearance is required.
We dispatch through our Mississippi process-server network under Rule 45, with up to three diligent attempts per address. Statutory witness and mileage fees — the county's juror rate (commonly $25–$40 per day) plus mileage under Miss. Code § 25-3-41 — are tendered at service where attendance is commanded.
You receive a signed, court-ready PDF affidavit of service confirming completion in full compliance with Mississippi law — ready for filing in your originating case.
Before July 2011, reaching a Mississippi witness for an out-of-state case meant a slower court process. The UIDDA replaced it with a single clerk filing.
The complete Chapter 11-59 framework, plus the rule that governs subpoena form and service and the statute that sets witness fees — the authority we work from on every Mississippi order.

A rejected filing or a quash motion can cost weeks and blow your discovery window. These are the Mississippi-specific errors we screen out before anything is submitted.
Every production subpoena must conspicuously state that production cannot occur before the tenth day after service (Rule 45(d)(2)(A)). We state it on the face.
Mississippi adopted official Forms 6–8 in 2025; older homemade forms invite challenges. We use the current official forms.
The old $1.50-per-day fee was repealed in 2014. The fee is now the county's juror rate — commonly $25 to $40 — plus mileage. We tender the correct amount.
