Serving in Louisiana
What Louisiana says about service
One example from Louisiana's official pages, for small claims (Small claims division of the city court (La. R.S. 13:5202)): “Citation by certified mail counts as personal service; if that fails, the marshal usually serves (Shreveport City Court).” Other case types have their own rules.
Some places license or register process servers, some require a court appointment, and some have no separate rule. It is up to you to meet Louisiana's; we ask on the application.

Apply
Fill in the form below and attach your license, registration, insurance and background check, and a server license if your area needs one. When every date checks out, approval can be automatic.
After approval, the portal asks for two things, the signed contractor agreement and a W-9. Then job offers arrive by email, or by text once you opt in.
