Personal Service is the required way to serve certain papers.
Personal service is required for all papers which start a case.
A person is served as soon as the person is handed the papers. Substituted Service may be used if personal service has not been successful after several attempts to serve the person. The papers must be left with a person who is at least 18 years old. The person given the papers must live in the same home or be the person in charge at the place of business. The person given the papers must be told what the papers are about and who they are for.
