Serving in Ohio
Before you serve papers in Ohio
One example from Ohio's official pages, for small claims (Small Claims Division (Municipal Court or County Court)): “Notice of filing served on the defendant as provided by the Ohio Rules of Civil Procedure (ORC 1925.05(A)).” Other case types have their own rules.
Whether Ohio or your county licenses, registers or appoints process servers is for you to check and meet before taking a serve; the application asks.

Ohio process server questions
Do I need a license to serve papers in Ohio?
It depends on Ohio's rules and sometimes your county's. You must meet them; the application asks whether your area requires a license and, if so, for the upload.
Will I get regular serves in Ohio?
We can't promise any. Serves are offered as client requests come in near your ZIP.
Am I an employee?
No, this is independent contractor work: your jobs, your vehicle, your choice on every offer.
