Process server jobs in Missouri
We send serves in Missouri to independent process servers who know their area, from Kansas City, St. Louis and Springfield to the smaller towns.
Our office is in Cranford, New Jersey, and our contractor network is open in every state, Missouri included.
What you'll do
The process server job, day to day
- Delivering legal papers to the person named, in person
- Logging every attempt in the portal with date, time, GPS location and photos
- Completing the proof or affidavit of service that Missouri requires and uploading it
- Filings and records runs too, only if you opt in
Before you apply
What we require
- 18 or older, and never a party to a case you serve
- A valid driver's license, vehicle registration and auto insurance, all uploaded with the application
- A background check under 12 months old (or, for an established business, a waiver the owner may grant; never automatic)
- The license or registration your area requires for serving in Missouri, if any, uploaded with the application
- A smartphone for GPS-stamped attempts, photos and email
Pay
Pay, per job
Each job shows its pay up front, in dollars, before you commit. Take it, pass, or make a counter-offer; passing never counts against you.
Jobs are offered one at a time, as clients ask, to contractors whose travel radius covers the address, whether near Kansas City, St. Louis and Springfield or a smaller town in Missouri. We don't guarantee any number of jobs.
This is 1099 independent contractor work.
Serving in Missouri
Service rules in Missouri
For small claims in the Small claims court, a division of the circuit court, the court's pages say: “The court mails the summons by certified mail; if that fails, a process server or sheriff can serve for an extra fee. The defendant must get the summons at least 10 days before the court date.” Other case types have their own rules.
Rules on who may serve, and whether a license or registration is needed, vary by state and sometimes by county or city. You must meet Missouri's rules for every serve you take, and the application asks about it.
From official pages read in November 2026; not legal advice.
Apply
The form below takes your details and documents: driver's license, registration, auto insurance, background check and any license your area requires. Complete, valid applications may be approved right away.
Approval is followed by an email with a portal link: sign the contractor agreement, add your W-9, and you start receiving offers by email (and text, if you choose).
Process Server: common questions in Missouri
Do I need a license to serve papers in Missouri?
That is set by Missouri and sometimes the county. If one is required, upload it with the application; if you're not sure, say so and a person reviews it.
Will I get regular serves in Missouri?
We can't promise any. Serves are offered as client requests come in near your ZIP.
Am I an employee?
No. You are an independent contractor who chooses every job and can counter any offer.
