Local Expertise in North Vancouver
Our North Vancouver process servers have an in-depth understanding of the North Shore, from the busy Lonsdale corridor to the residential neighbourhoods tucked up against the mountains. Our mail and courier address sits in Central Lonsdale, just a short trip up the street from the North Vancouver Courthouse on East 23rd Street, and we are highly experienced with all procedures at the North Vancouver registry. Our servers regularly navigate Lower and Central Lonsdale, Lynn Valley, Deep Cove, Edgemont, Capilano, and the Seymour area, as well as Ambleside, Dundarave, the British Properties, and Horseshoe Bay in West Vancouver. We are experts at utilizing key routes like the Upper Levels Highway (Highway 1), Marine Drive, the Lions Gate Bridge, and the Ironworkers Memorial Second Narrows Crossing for efficient service across the North Shore and into Vancouver.

Which Courts Sit at the North Vancouver Courthouse?
The North Vancouver Courthouse handles a busy Provincial Court docket, but it has no Supreme Court registry. British Columbia splits court services for the North Shore between two courthouses, and filing at the wrong registry costs you a day. Our servers file at both locations daily, so your documents always land at the right counter the first time.
Located at the North Vancouver Courthouse:
- Provincial Court – Adult and youth criminal matters
- Provincial Court – Family matters (parenting arrangements, support, and protection orders)
- Small Claims Court – Claims from $5,001 to $35,000 (most claims of $5,000 or less go to the Civil Resolution Tribunal)
Handled at the Vancouver Law Courts, the nearest Supreme Court registry (800 Smithe Street, Vancouver, BC V6Z 2E1):
- Supreme Court of British Columbia – Civil claims above the Small Claims limit
- Supreme Court – Family matters (divorce and division of property)
- Probate, wills & estates
- Registry: 604-660-2847 | VancouverLawCourtsRegistry@gov.bc.ca
British Columbia has no unified family court. Family jurisdiction is split, with Provincial Court family matters heard in North Vancouver and Supreme Court family matters (divorce and property division) heard at the Vancouver Law Courts. If you’re unsure where your documents need to go, send them to us — knowing the right counter is our job.

Courthouse Pro-Tip: Urgent Disbursements
Unexpected challenges at the North Vancouver Courthouse or the Vancouver Law Courts can halt proceedings. If an urgent, substantial fee is required, our team can solve the problem on the spot. We can get funds sent by e-transfer that same day, allowing our servers to cover the cost immediately and get your legal work performed without critical delays.
