Halifax Regional Municipality has several courthouses: the Law Courts on Upper Water Street, Family Court on Devonshire Avenue, Provincial Court locations on Spring Garden Road and Pleasant Street, and a Dartmouth satellite. Which location matters depends on the proceeding and documents.
If you are comparing service areas, see our process server Nova Scotia page. To arrange service online, serve legal documents online through the Canada-wide request form.

Service options and timing
The request form offers Standard, Rush and Same-day service types where available. Rush is prioritized for tighter deadlines; Same-day is for papers that must go out today. The form applies its configured order cutoff and shows availability for the address. A selection is not a guarantee that service will be completed by a particular hour or date.
Actual timing depends on the service address, instructions, coverage and process-server availability. Review the deadline and live options in the order form before submitting; if the address is outside the available coverage or a service type is unavailable, the form will show the next step.
Current price for your province
The current configured client total for routine service in Nova Scotia is $110–$210 CAD for one recipient at one address, before applicable GST/HST (calculated separately at checkout). This is a province-level range, not a city-specific quote; address coverage and any add-ons or printing can change the exact total.
Use the live total in the order form rather than relying on an old estimate. Province-wide bands do not imply every address is covered at that range.
Arrange service online
Provide the complete service address, correct recipient and all documents and instructions. Check that the selected service type fits the deadline and that the order form displays the appropriate option for the address. The service record reports attempts and outcomes; neither a city page nor a courthouse listing guarantees a legal result.
