In addition to turning in the paperwork at the courthouse, it is your responsibility to “serve” the person or company you were trying to collect from. In this case, I was trying to collect from a registered company named Empery Software. In order to serve Empery Software, I had to determine their registered location. To do this, you have to go to a company that does corporate title searches, such as West Coast Title Search. You have to pay about $35 for this service.
The registered location of Empery Software turned out to be an accounting firm in Langley. This particular paperwork can be served by anyone, including yourself. I arranged for my son-in-law to do the servicing. When he did this job, I took a document certifying that the servicing had happened back to the courthouse.
