A process server is a professional responsible for delivering legal documents, such as subpoenas, summonses, and complaints, to individuals involved in a legal proceeding. Their role ensures that due process is upheld by notifying parties of their involvement in legal actions.

Process servers deliver a variety of legal documents, including but not limited to summonses, subpoenas, complaints, writs, and court orders. They may also handle eviction notices, divorce papers, and other legal notifications.

After successful delivery, the process server will provide a proof of service, also known as an affidavit of service. This document confirms that the papers were delivered and includes details such as the date, time, location, and method of service.

If the individual refuses to accept the documents, the process server will document the refusal and may use alternative methods of service as permitted by law, such as leaving the documents with a competent adult at the residence or leaving the documents in a conspicuous place. Every scenario is different so it's important to keep detailed notes as to what happened during the service.
