Read More About Our Tracking Services
A legal courier is a specialized delivery service that handles court filings, subpoenas, deposition transcripts, original signed documents, and other time-sensitive legal materials between law firms, courts, opposing counsel, and clients. Unlike a process server, a legal courier doesn't perform service of process under the rules of civil procedure — but they handle every other physical document movement that law practice requires. See courier vs. process server for when to use which.
Common daily work: court filings (Supreme, Surrogate's, Civil, Family, Criminal, Federal District, Appellate Division), motion papers with same-day filing requirements, signed retainer agreements, real estate closing documents between attorneys and title companies, deposition transcripts and exhibits, and confidential discovery materials. See our complete NYC court filing delivery guide and why firms choose legal couriers over legal processors.
Three things: confidentiality, chain of custody, and court familiarity. Legal couriers are trained to handle sealed envelopes without breaking confidentiality, document each transfer with timestamps and signatures (see our chain-of-custody guide), and navigate NYC and NJ courthouses — including knowing which clerks accept which filings, which courts close at 4pm vs. 5pm, and which filings require originals vs. copies.
A standard same-day courier may not know that a Surrogate's Court filing in Manhattan needs a different submission process than a Supreme Court filing in Queens. Xentra runs legal courier pickups across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and New Jersey — with drivers familiar with each courthouse's filing rooms.

Most NYC legal couriers price per-delivery — typically by the mile or by zone — with rush options for filings that have a same-day deadline. Xentra Transport prices flat at $3 per mile with a $125 minimum. Recurring law firm accounts get invoice billing and pre-loaded addresses for the courthouses you use most. Run your route through our pricing calculator for a flat-rate quote.
What to look for in a legal courier: confidentiality protocols, chain-of-custody documentation, signature proof of delivery, GPS tracking, COI on file, and familiarity with the specific courts you file in. Ask whether they file directly at the clerk's window or just drop with the security desk — those are very different services. See how to hire a courier service for the full vetting process.
