Chicago Methods of Service
Chicago, like the rest of Illinois, offers several different methods of service, including:
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: When the process server leaves the papers with someone else at the party’s residence or through certified mail when unable to reach the party in person. If it is impractical to serve traditionally, a judge can even order service by email or text.
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)
Who to Serve and Where
Take a close look at your case. If you’re suing an individual, that person will need to be served (likely at their workplace or residence). But if you’re suing a government, township, company, or other entity, then your server will work to serve the correct person, depending on the nature of the case.
Process Server Rules in Chicago
Servers do not need to be licensed, but they need to be at least 18 years old, a legal resident, and not a party to the case in question.
