Serving papers in Michigan
Process server rules in Michigan
Who may serve papers, and whether a license or registration is needed, differs from state to state and sometimes county to county. Before you take a serve in Michigan, make sure you meet the state's rules; we ask about it on the application. Check Michigan'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 (Small claims division of the district court), the pages we checked describe service this way: “A process server, or certified mail restricted to the addressee; the clerk can arrange it for a fee. The defendant should get notice at least 7 days before the hearing.” Other kinds of cases have their own service rules.
