Albany Methods of Service

Albany has several methods of service, including the following:

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

  • Substituted service: If unable to serve the papers in person, the process server can then leave the papers with someone else at the party’s residence or workplace 

Nail and mail: If other options cannot be completed, the papers can be affixed to the door of the defendant’s residence and also mailed via first class mail. The mailing must take place within 20 days of when the method was used.

Who to Serve and Where

If you’re serving an individual, then that’s the person who will need to be served the papers. But if you’re serving a corporation or company, the city of Albany itself, another government agency, or a town or municipality, there are specific rules you should adhere to. Your process server and Proof experts will know what to do.

Process Server Rules in Albany

In Albany, registered agents may be individuals, corporations, or limited liability companies (LLCs). To be eligible as a registered agent, one must be at least 18 years of age and possess a physical address within New York State for the receipt of documents either by mail or in person.
