Registered Process Server

1. Preparation of Documents:

   • The legal documents that need to be served, such as summons, complaints, or subpoenas, are prepared by the requesting party, often with the assistance of an attorney.
     
     

2. Assignment to a Process Server:

   • Once the documents are ready, they are assigned to a Registered Process Server, who will take responsibility for ensuring that they are served correctly.
     
     

3. Verification of Information:

   • The process server reviews the documents and gathers any necessary information about the recipient, including their last known address or location.
     
     

4. Attempting Service:

   • The process server goes to the location where the recipient is believed to be. They may make multiple attempts to deliver the documents in person, using various strategies to ensure successful service.
     
     

5. Serving the Documents:

   • When the process server makes contact with the recipient, they formally deliver the legal documents. This typically involves identifying themselves, presenting the documents, and sometimes explaining their significance.
     
     

6. Witnessing Service:

   • In some cases, the process server may need to have the recipient sign a receipt or acknowledgment of service to confirm that they have received the documents.
     
     

7. Documentation:

   • After serving the documents, the process server completes a detailed affidavit or proof of service, which outlines when, where, and how the documents were served. This document may need to be filed with the court to verify that service was completed.
     
     

8. Reporting Back:

   • The process server provides the client with a copy of the proof of service and any relevant updates regarding the delivery.
     
     

By following these steps, a Registered Process Server ensures that legal documents are delivered in a professional manner, adhering to legal requirements while helping to facilitate the judicial process.
