Stockton Methods of Service
Stockton 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.
