Serving papers in Alabama
Before you serve papers in Alabama
Each state sets its own rules for serving court papers, and some counties and cities add their own. It is up to you to meet Alabama's requirements, and the application asks whether you do. For current requirements, check Alabama's court rules and official court pages. This is not legal advice.
For a sense of how it works there, in small claims cases (Small Claims Division of the District Court), service is described like this: “The sheriff serves the statement of claim, or it is sent by certified mail (restricted delivery for individuals). The defendant has 14 days to answer.” Other civil cases follow their own rules.
