Serving papers in Massachusetts
Serving and court runs in Massachusetts
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 Massachusetts's rules for any papers you serve, and we ask about it when you apply. Massachusetts's court rules and official court website are the place to confirm what applies. We can't give legal advice.
As one example, in small claims cases (Small claims, Boston Municipal Court, District Court or Housing Court), the court's pages describe service as: “The clerk mails the Statement of Claim and Notice to the defendant.” Other kinds of cases have their own service rules.
