Serving papers in Kentucky
Process server rules in Kentucky
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 Kentucky's requirements, and the application asks whether you do. Check Kentucky's court rules and its court self-help pages for current requirements. We don't give 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: “Certified mail with return receipt (paid in advance) or personal service by the sheriff. The plaintiff must check that service was completed.” Other kinds of cases have their own service rules.
