Serving papers in Maryland
Before you serve papers in Maryland
Process server rules vary by state, and sometimes by county or city. Some places license or register process servers, some require a court appointment, and some have no separate requirement. You must meet Maryland's rules for any papers you serve, and we ask about it when you apply. Check Maryland's court rules and its court self-help pages for current requirements. We don't give legal advice.
As one example, in small claims cases (District Court of Maryland (small claims)), the pages we checked describe service this way: “Certified mail, private process server, constable or sheriff. The defendant generally has 15 days to file a Notice of Intention to Defend (60 days if served out of state or through a state agency).” Other civil cases follow their own rules.
