When attempting to Serve documents, if a Process Server is not able to get ahold of the defendant, it will be essential to obtain verbal confirmation from 2 Sources: resident and a non-resident to confirm if the subject does or does not reside at the address being attempted.
This will help determine if more attempts need to be made to carry out a successful service, or if the address is non-servable.
Non-resident refers to:
-
Neighbor
-
Leasing Office
-
Building Manager
-
On Site Worker
Resident refers to:
-
An individual that resides in the same address. (Resident must be at least 18 years or older, but this may differ depending on the state, please see your state rules)
- Getting one verbal confirmation is not enough to determine non-residency, ABC Legal requires 2 sources
- Avoid typing information that there is a button for, as it can cause delays with the order.
