Served 123 LLC handles end-to-end subpoena domestication throughout Vermont under the UIDDA — Vermont Rule of Civil Procedure 45(f), promulgated by the Vermont Supreme Court — submitted to the Superior Court Civil Division clerk in the county where discovery is to be conducted, across all 14 Vermont counties and their corresponding Superior Court units. Our VT practice covers the UVM Medical Center (largest VT employer) + University of Vermont, BETA Technologies eVTOL aircraft, GlobalFoundries Essex Junction semiconductor fab, Burton Snowboards, Ben & Jerry's, and GE Aviation Rutland — filed through Odyssey File & Serve statewide.
Per the Vermont Judiciary directly: "There is a $295 fee to ask the court to issue a foreign subpoena." This is considerably higher than most UIDDA jurisdictions — Rhode Island (~$185), South Dakota (~$2 + ~$20), most Upper Midwest states ($15-$75). We advance the $295 on every VT order and itemize on your invoice.
Vermont has a genuinely distinctive UIDDA service-return quirk at V.R.C.P. 45(f)(4): a Vermont UIDDA subpoena must be served in compliance with Rule 45(b), except that the officer or individual responsible for service shall NOT return a certificate of service or affidavit to the Vermont court that issued the subpoena. Instead, the certificate of service or affidavit is delivered to the party that requested the subpoena. This differs from the standard UIDDA / most states where proof of service is filed with the issuing court. The practical consequence: the requesting party must keep the certificate of service in its own files for use in the originating state court — it won't appear on the Vermont docket. Served 123 LLC handles the Vermont-specific workflow on every order and delivers the certificate of service directly to the requesting firm.
Vermont operates Odyssey File & Serve (OFS) — the Tyler Technologies statewide electronic filing platform — across all Superior Court divisions, the Judicial Bureau, the Environmental Division, and the Supreme Court. Attorneys and governmental agency personnel are required to electronically file documents through OFS. OFS supports V.R.C.P. 45(f) foreign-subpoena submissions across all 14 Vermont Superior Court units. Served 123 LLC files through OFS as the default path on every Vermont order.
Vermont adopted the Uniform Interstate Depositions and Discovery Act through Vermont Rule of Civil Procedure 45(f), promulgated by the Vermont Supreme Court. Like Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, and the Dakotas, Vermont adopted the UIDDA as a rule of civil procedure — the Vermont Supreme Court acted under its inherent authority over procedure, and the rule has the force of statute for UIDDA purposes. V.R.C.P. 45(f) is supplemented by V.R.C.P. 45 generally (the standard Vermont subpoena rule) and by V.R.C.P. 28(d) (out-of-state deposition authority).
Under Rule 45(f)(3), a party submits a foreign subpoena to a clerk of the Superior Court, Civil Division, in the county where discovery is to be conducted. Vermont's court structure was consolidated by the Court Unification Act of 2010 — there are now 14 Superior Court units, one in each of Vermont's 14 counties, each with four core divisions (Civil, Criminal, Family, Probate) plus a statewide Environmental Division. The clerk issues a Vermont subpoena incorporating the foreign subpoena's terms, advising the recipient of the right to move to quash or modify under V.R.C.P. 45(c), and including the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of all counsel of record and unrepresented parties.
The Vermont Judiciary directly confirms a $295 statutory filing fee for foreign subpoenas — notably higher than most UIDDA jurisdictions (e.g., ~$185 Rhode Island, ~$2 + ~$20 South Dakota, $15-$75 Upper Midwest). Electronic filing via Odyssey File & Serve (OFS) is mandatory for attorneys statewide.
