Substituted or alternate service is leaving the court papers with a responsible person at the defendant’s dwelling place, usually the place of abode, or usual place of business, and then mailing the defendant a copy. It can replace personal service in situations where personal service is not required. The purpose is to make sure that anyone whose rights are at stake has notice of what is going on in the court.
Here’s What We Do
At Rai’s Process Server, we ensure legal compliance by delivering court papers to a responsible adult at the recipient’s home or workplace and following up with a mailed copy. This method ensures that the intended party is notified, even if they are unavailable to accept the documents in person. We follow all legal guidelines to maintain the validity of the service, giving you confidence that your case can proceed without unnecessary delays.
Benefits of Substituted Service
- Ensures Legal Notification – Even if the recipient is unavailable, their legal documents are still properly delivered, preventing unnecessary case delays.
- Compliant & Court-Recognized – We follow all state laws to ensure that substituted service is valid and documented correctly.
- Proof of Delivery – We provide an affidavit of service detailing when and where the documents were delivered, giving you a legal record of compliance.
- Ideal for Evasive Individuals – When personal service is not an option due to avoidance or frequent unavailability, substituted service ensures the case moves forward.
