Serving in New Hampshire
What New Hampshire says about service
For small claims in the Circuit Court - District Division (Small Claims), the court's pages say: “The court mails notice of the claim to the defendant by first-class mail; if undeliverable, the plaintiff completes service as in other civil actions at plaintiff's expense (RSA 503:6; Rule 4.2).” Rules differ for other case types.
Whether New Hampshire or your county licenses, registers or appoints process servers is for you to check and meet before taking a serve; the application asks.
