Subpoenas are typically issued during the discovery phase of a lawsuit. This phase occurs after the initial pleadings and before trial, allowing both parties to gather evidence and obtain information from witnesses or third parties. Subpoenas can compel individuals to testify or produce documents relevant to the case, helping to build or support a party's arguments.
Pro se litigants can get the subpoenas issued but cannot put his signature and serve subpoenas.
There are several things regarding subpoenas. First off, you need to be in the discovery phase of a lawsuit. Then you file the subpoena request with the court and if the request is granted, it will be delivered in person. The article describes the process in more detail.
The Clerk of the Court or an attorney as an officer of the court. Generally, attorneys are authorized to sign the Clerk's name to a subpoena and serve it as if the Clerk had issued it. As an example, this is what Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 45(a)(3) says: (3) Issued by Whom. The clerk must issue a subpoena, signed but otherwise in blank, to a party who requests it. That party must complete it before service. An attorney also may issue and sign a subpoena as an officer of: (A) a court in which the attorney is authorized to practice; or (B) a court for a district where a deposition is to be taken or production is to be made, if the attorney is authorized to practice in the court where the action is pending.
A SUBPOENA is issued by the court, not by an individual. If you have a case, or a hearing, in court you may request that the court issued subpoenas to compel those people necessary to attend, and assist you in your case, and the court will issue them.
Both the Senate and the House of Representatives have the power to issue subpoenas. This authority allows them to compel witnesses to testify and produce documents as part of their investigative and oversight functions. However, the process and context in which subpoenas are issued may vary between the two chambers. Ultimately, each chamber can enforce its own subpoenas through its respective procedures.

Appeal
In order to check if a subpoena has been issued, you need to check with the "Clerk of the Court" of the judge who may have issued the Subpoena. For example, if its a criminal subpoena. A good place to start is at your local City Clerk courthouse, or district courthouse County Clerk. They should have a record on file.
Only the court, or an authorized court official, has the pwoer to issue and/or serve subpoenas. As a party to a case you can request that a subpoena be issued, but if it is in reference to the case at issue, it is HIGHLY unlikely the court will do so.
There is no statutory timeframe but subpoenas are usually issued far enough in advance of the trial or hearing to ensure that they get served in time for the person to respond.
Depends on the usage. Examples: The subpoena's language was really hard to understand. The subpoenas were served on the 27th.
