Official Website

of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

    The .gov means its official.

    Local, state, and federal government websites often end in .gov. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania government websites and email systems use "pennsylvania.gov" or "pa.gov" at the end of the address. Before sharing sensitive or personal information, make sure you're on an official state website. 

    Service of Process may be sent to the registered address of the entity that appears on our records. The Secretary of the Commonwealth may accept service if so ordered by a Pennsylvania Judge. The court order, accompanied by the complaint, should be sent by certified mail to the Department of State, return receipt requested. The statutory fee is $70.00 for each defendant to be served.

    You may reach the bureau by telephone by calling (717) 787-1057. The telephone lines are available from 8:00 am to 4:45 pm.
