Business Description

A process server is an individual or company that delivers legal documents to parties involved in a court case. The process server must be authorized by the court and may be appointed by either party in the case, or even an attorney representing one of them. Process servers are responsible for delivering summonses, subpoenas, complaints, and other court-related documents to individuals who are named defendants in a lawsuit. Process servers have several essential responsibilities when it comes to delivering legal papers: they must ensure that all paperwork is served correctly; they must verify the identity of those being served; and they must provide proof of service (also known as “proof of delivery”). Proof can take many forms, such as signed affidavits from witnesses or photographs taken at the time of service showing both parties present when the document was delivered. In some cases, process servers may also need to make attempts at multiple addresses if necessary before providing proof that papers were successfully delivered. The job requires knowledge about local laws regarding how long someone has after being served with certain types of paperwork before responding, so it’s crucial for anyone considering becoming a professional process server to understand these regulations thoroughly before taking on any assignments. Additionally, most states require licensure, which includes passing written exams covering topics specifically about the serving process.
