To issue a subpoena in a case being litigated in any U.S. state other than New York  (referred to as a “foreign” state), you may either:

(1) submit both a New York subpoena and a subpoena from the home state to an attorney authorized to practice law in New York, who will then issue the reciprocal New York subpoena to the relevant party, or;

(2) submit the subpoena to the Court Clerk’s Office along with the filing fee at to the court in the county where the defendant resides or is located. If you choose the second option, the Court Clerk's Office will sign the subpoena and it will be returned to you for service on the relevant party – the Clerk’s Office will not serve the subpoena.
