A az process server is an individual certified by the state to deliver legal papers to parties involved in a lawsuit. This includes plaintiffs and defendants as well as witnesses and alleged victims of crimes. They serve summons, subpoenas, and other court papers by hand. In most states they must pass a test and get fingerprinted to be certified. A good az process server will have an eye for detail and be able to locate the person they are serving with ease. They will also be able to provide regular updates to their clients about the status of service and any other pertinent information.
What does a process server do in Arizona?
The Supreme Court established a private process server certification program, which is administered by the clerk of the superior court in each county. The clerk handles applications for the exam, maintains certification records and handles complaints against private process servers.
Once an applicant is approved to take the private process server certification exam they will be allowed to serve process in any court in Arizona as long as they continue to comply with the rules of the program and the laws set by the Supreme Court. Any private process server found to be engaging in fraud, dishonesty, or corruption will have their certification revoked and will not be allowed to take further examinations.
