The work
The process server job, day to day
- Personal service of court papers in Massachusetts
- Recording each attempt (time, place, photo) in our portal as it happens
- Signing the affidavit or proof of service and uploading it to close the job
- Court filing and records runs as well, if you choose them on the application
Before you apply
What we require
- 18 or older, and never a party to a case you serve
- Upload your driver's license, registration and auto insurance with the application
- A background check from the last 12 months; an established business can ask the owner to waive it instead, with a link to its reviews
- Any license, registration or court appointment Massachusetts or your county requires to serve papers, uploaded if it applies
- A smartphone for attempt photos, GPS stamps and offers
Pay
What and how you're paid
The pay is on the offer itself. Take it, pass, or make a counter-offer; there are no minimums and no penalty for saying no.
Jobs are offered one at a time, as clients ask, to contractors whose travel radius covers the address, whether near Boston, Worcester and Springfield or a smaller town in Massachusetts. We don't guarantee any number of jobs.
This is 1099 independent contractor work.
Serving in Massachusetts
Before you serve papers in Massachusetts
One example from Massachusetts's official pages, for small claims (Small claims, Boston Municipal Court, District Court or Housing Court): “The clerk mails the Statement of Claim and Notice to the defendant.” Rules differ for other case types.
Whether Massachusetts or your county licenses, registers or appoints process servers is for you to check and meet before taking a serve; the application asks.
