Civil Process Serving on Guam & CNMI

Personal and abode delivery of civil complaints, summonses, and petitions across all 19 Guam villages and CNMI under GRCP Rule 4.

1. Executing Personal & Abode Service Under GRCP Rule 4(e) & 7 GCA § 14101

Every civil lawsuit filed in the Superior Court of Guam (120 W O'Brien Dr, Hagåtña, GU 96910) or the U.S. District Court of Guam (520 W Soledad Ave, Hagåtña, GU 96910) begins with formal service of the summons and complaint. Under Guam Rules of Civil Procedure Rule 4(c)(2) and 7 GCA § 14101, any non-party adult at least 18 years old may serve civil process across all 19 Guam villages without waiting on the Judiciary Marshals queue. Under GRCP Rule 4(e)(1) and (2), we complete direct personal tender or leave copies at the individual's dwelling house or usual place of abode with a permanent co-resident of suitable age and discretion—triggering the 20-day answer window under GRCP Rule 12(a) (21 days in federal court).

2. Corporate Registered Agents (18 GCA § 2105) & Proof of Service

When serving corporations, LLCs, banks, or insurers doing business on Guam under GRCP Rule 4(h), we deliver directly to the entity's registered agent or officer in Hagåtña, Tamuning, or Maite, or execute statutory fallback service at the Guam Department of Revenue and Taxation (1240 Army Dr / Route 16, Barrigada). Every Standard ($95), Priority Rush ($145), and 24-Hour ($195) order includes a dated attempt log (Chamorro Standard Time), and a signed return of service under GRCP Rule 4(l) and 6 GCA § 4308.
