Serving in DC
What the District of Columbia says about service
the District of Columbia's small claims court is the Small Claims and Conciliation Branch, Superior Court of the District of Columbia. Its rules set who may serve and how.
Whether the District of Columbia or your county licenses, registers or appoints process servers is for you to check and meet before taking a serve; the application asks.
From official pages read in November 2026; not legal advice.
