Meet Your Server
Stephen J. Irwin
Owner & Registered Process Server
SF County Reg. No. 2026-0001607
I became a registered process server in San Francisco in 2026, and I serve the entire Bay Area — San Francisco, the East Bay, the Peninsula, the South Bay, and the North Bay.
Before process serving, I spent years as a clinical social worker in San Francisco, helping people through difficult situations. That experience shapes how I work: I treat every serve with patience, persistence, and respect for everyone involved.
I started Serve SF to offer reliable, affordable service with no surprises: the same price seven days a week, no weekend or after-hours surcharge, up to three attempts and a completed Proof of Service included in every job, and a refund of the service fee if service isn't completed after all three attempts.
I've lived in San Francisco since 2001, I know the city and the Bay Area well, and to date I have never been unsuccessful in completing a service. When you hire me, you deal with me directly — the person who takes your papers is the person who serves them.
