Foreign Depositions

If you need to depose someone living or working in Utah (or request documents) you must have a Utah subpoena issued in order to enforce the request. This procedure is fairly simple.

The Utah District Court requires a Notice of Deposition (or equivalent) from the original jurisdiction (your state) and $25.00 (made payable to Utah District Court) in order to open a miscellaneous file. You may then issue any number of subpoenas (providing they follow Rule 45's requirements) at no cost through the court.

The filing of your Notice of Deposition and issuing of the subpoenas can be done via direct mail with the court of jurisdiction. Or, you may utilize our services to prepare the subpoena for you and have it issued by the court. The only thing we ask is that you provide the names and addresses of the witnesses and their deposition date and time.

The location of the deposition is at your discretion. We can offer to be the deposition address ONLY if documents are being produced. We do not have a conference room, nor do we employ court reporters to swear testimony.

If you need the names of court reporters, you may call us or contact the court of jurisdiction in Utah.

Our service fees are as follows:

We do not automatically issue witness fee checks. If you would like to have a witness fee served with the Utah subpoena, you must indicate so in your request for a miscellaneous filing.
