Federal Subpoenas are governed by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) Rule 45, which authorizes private process servers for service. Unlike some in-state Pennsylvania requirements, FRCP Rule 45 explicitly allows any non-party adult over 18 to serve a subpoena (FRCP 45(b)(1)). No Sheriff or U.S. Marshal is required in standard cases, and Krayer Detective Agency performs these serves directly as a Private Process Server.

Key Federal Rules for Subpoenas (FRCP Rule 45)

• Rule 45(a) – Form and Contents: The Subpoena must state the court from which it issued, the title of the action, the civil-action number, and command attendance at a deposition, hearing, trial, or production/inspection of documents, electronically stored information (ESI), or tangible things.
• Rule 45(b) – Service: Service may be made by any person who is not a party and is at least 18 years old (including Private Process Servers like Krayer Detective Agency). Service requires delivering a copy to the named person and tendering fees for one day’s attendance and mileage (if subpoenaed for testimony).
• Rule 45(c) – Protection of Persons Subject to Subpoena: Limits on geographic scope (generally within 100 miles of where the person resides/works or within the state if a trial Subpoena), protections against undue burden, and provisions for quashing/modifying if unreasonable.
• Rule 45(d) – Duties in Responding: Recipients must respond as commanded unless objected to or quashed; objections must be served before the compliance date.
• Rule 45(e) – Contempt: Failure to obey without adequate excuse may result in contempt sanctions by the issuing court.
• Rule 45(f) – Transferring a Subpoena-Related Motion: Motions to quash, modify, or enforce can be transferred to the issuing court for convenience.
• Proof of Service — The server files a certificate or affidavit with the issuing court, detailing date, time, place, manner of service, and fees tendered (FRCP 45(b)(4)).
