What documents are required to submit to the Sheriff’s Office to initiate service?
Please provide a cover letter (either from your law office or you personally) directing the Sheriff’s Office who to serve, where this person will be located, any contact phone numbers you may have, and work location if applicable. You may also complete and include the “Civil Process Information Sheet”. Remember the more accurate information you provide will increase the probability of successful service. Be sure to include all of your return contact information including mailing address and phone number. The Sheriff’s Office will require the appropriate fees for service be paid in advance. Please include one set of the documents to be served (an additional complete copy is appreciated for our Sheriff’s Office files). A self-addressed, stamped envelope for the Return of Service is also appreciated.
