Serving papers in New Jersey
Serving and court runs in New Jersey
Each state sets its own rules for serving court papers, and some counties and cities add their own. It is up to you to meet the area's requirements, and the application asks whether you do. Check New Jersey'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 Section, Special Civil Part), service is described like this: “Certified and regular mail, or personal service by a Special Civil Part Officer.” Other kinds of cases have their own service rules.
