Sacramento Methods of Service

Sacramento offers multiple methods of service, but which is right for you will depend on the nature and specifics of your case. Here’s an overview:

  • Personal service: When someone who is not a party to the case hand-delivers documents to the other side

  • Service by mail: When someone who is not a party to the case mails documents to the other side

  • Substituted service: After 3 or more failed attempts to serve the papers, the process server can then leave the papers with someone else at the party’s residence

  • Service by notice and acknowledgment of receipt: When the other side agrees to be served by mail and will sign an acknowledgment of receipt for the court

  • Service by posting on the premises and mailing (for eviction cases only): Sometimes called “nail and mail,” this is when you post a notice on the premises 

  • Service by publication: When you publish the summons and complaint in a newspaper (this is usually for when you do not know where the other party lives or works)

Service by posting (at the courthouse): When the summons and complaint are posted in a designated place at the courthouse itself

Who to Serve and Where

Sometimes it will be obvious who to serve, like when you’re suing a specific individual. Other times, like if you are suing a business, corporation, state, or landlord, then our process servers in California will be sure to take into account the specifics.

Process Server Rules in Sacramento
