Process Servers Information Page

What are Process Servers?

Process Servers are individuals who give legal notice to a party (usually the defendant) requiring them to respond to a proceeding scheduled to be held before a court, government body, or tribunal. Notice is usually provided by presenting the party in question with court documents such as Summonses, Complaints, Writs, Subpoenas, etc.

Each jurisdiction has its own rules regarding service of process. Some documents must be served personally, while others may be served upon a person of approved age at the intended party's residence or place of employment.

The requirements for becoming a process server are equally varied. Many states have no licensing laws, others require process servers to be licensed, pass educational testing, and / or execute a bond. Some states have local licensing laws applicable to certain areas. In New York, for example, requires all those who wish to serve process within New York City's five boroughs (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx, Staten Island, Queens) to be licensed through the NYC Department of Consumer Affairs. The same rule does not apply to the rest of the state.
