Why Process Server Court Requirements Matter

Courts impose specific rules to ensure legal documents are served properly and fairly. These rules often include:

  • Who is legally allowed to serve papers
  • Registration or certification requirements
  • Court-approved service methods

  • Deadlines, restrictions, and special local rules


Failure to meet court requirements can result in:
