What does a process server do?

Process Servers are needed in an assortment of tasks such as filing court papers, serving legal documents, and document retrieval. Their principal job is to deliver or “serve” legal documents to a defendant or other persons involved in a court case. After serving any legal documents, process servers have to deliver actual evidence that the legal papers were served. The verification is referred to as an affidavit of service or proof of service, which must be commissioned or notarized and given to the individual or firm who required the papers to be served. Process Servers are legally required to serve papers in the correct manner laid out in their province. Rules differ by province, so each process server may have a distinctive way of carrying out service.
