What is a certified process server?

A Certified Process Server is an individual who is authorized and trained to deliver legal documents such as subpoenas, summonses, and complaints to parties involved in court proceedings. Their certification indicates they have met specific state or local requirements, including background checks and training. Certified Process Servers play a crucial role in the legal system by ensuring that individuals are properly notified of legal actions against them, which is required for court cases to proceed. They must adhere to strict rules and regulations to maintain the integrity and legality of the service process.
