Why Join DGR
Why Our Servers Choose DGR
We've been doing this since 1981. We know what process servers need to succeed, and we build that into how we operate.

Our new app puts everything you need at your fingertips. Job assignments, GPS check-in, photo capture, and digital affidavit completion — all in one place.
Ongoing Training
We invest in our people. Receive continuous training on NJ, NY, and PA court rules, service requirements, and best practices so you always serve with confidence.

What You Need to Get Started
We keep our requirements straightforward. If you're reliable, professional, and ready to work, we want to hear from you.
Basic Requirements
Valid Driver's License & Auto Insurance
You'll need a current driver's license and valid auto insurance to serve in the field.
Reliable Transportation
A dependable vehicle is essential for getting to serve locations on time and consistently.
Smartphone
You'll use our server app for job assignments, GPS check-in, photo capture, and digital affidavits.
Printer
Some serves require printing documents. We reimburse printing costs per page.
18 Years or Older
All DGR process servers must be at least 18 years of age.
State-Specific Requirements
New Jersey
NJ does not require a statewide process server license. DGR will walk you through any county-specific requirements during onboarding.
New York
Process servers in NYC are required to be licensed by the Department of Consumer Affairs. DGR will guide you through the process.
Pennsylvania
PA requirements vary by county. Our team will confirm what applies to your service area during onboarding.
The DGR Advantage
Unlike gig platforms that leave you to figure out licensing on your own, DGR guides every new employee through state and county requirements. You won't navigate compliance alone — our team has been doing this since 1981.

Frequently ASked Questions
Questions We Hear Most.
Am I an employee or an independent contractor?
DGR hires process servers as employees, not independent contractors. This is one of our core differences from national gig platforms. You'll receive a W2, not a 1099.
What areas are you hiring in?
We are currently expanding our team across New Jersey, with hiring coming to New York and Pennsylvania. All NJ counties are of interest, particularly Essex, Bergen, Hudson, and Morris.
What if I'm unable to complete a serve on the first attempt?
Multiple attempts are sometimes necessary. You document each attempt through the app with GPS and photo evidence. Our team provides guidance on strategy for difficult serves.
What does the onboarding process look like?
After applying, a DGR team member will contact you for a brief phone interview. From there, you'll complete orientation and training, get set up on our app, and receive your first assignment.
Do I need prior experience as a process server?
Prior experience is helpful but not required. We provide thorough training during onboarding to get you ready, covering service rules, court requirements, and app usage.
How do I receive my job assignments?
All assignments come through our server app. You'll be notified of new jobs in your area, can view details and documents, and manage your route entirely from your phone.
Do I need a special license or certification?
Requirements vary by state and county. NJ generally does not require a statewide license. NY has specific NYC licensing requirements. We guide every new hire through what applies to them.
Is there a dress code?
There is no official dress code, but we expect our servers to present themselves professionally. Your presentation at a serve location directly impacts your success rate and represents DGR.
