Process Server Checklist: What to Do When Hiring a Process Server

When you have legal papers that need to be served, the likely conclusion is to hire a process server. A private process server has a lot of tools at their disposal to find and serve individuals and companies, yet there are some things that you should do when hiring a process server that will help your case go more smoothly. Here’s what you need to do.

Provide Residence and Employer

If you know where to find the individual to be served, it will greatly help the process server to get the papers served accurately and quickly. You should provide the process server with their last known address and place of employment, as well as their work schedule if you know it. Often, armed with this information a process server can perfect service quickly.

Provide Additional Information

If you think that the individual might try to avoid service, you should give the process server any additional information that will help them find the person to be served. This may include sharing their social media accounts and other information. It can also help if you know a certain place that the person will be on a specific date and time, such as AA meetings.

Stay in Contact

Make sure that you give the process server multiple ways to contact you in the event that there is a problem with getting papers served. The more information you can supply, the more likely that the papers will be served in a timely manner. Process servers may need additional specific information after they have your case in hand, especially if they are having difficulty making the serve.
