Serving papers in Oregon
Process server rules in Oregon
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 Oregon's requirements, and the application asks whether you do. Oregon's court rules and official court website are the place to confirm what applies. We can't give legal advice.
One example from the official pages: in small claims cases (Small Claims Department (Circuit Court; also Justice Courts)), the court's pages describe service as: “As for a summons (personal, substituted, office service by sheriff, process server or eligible non-party adult) or certified mail, return receipt requested, restricted delivery (ORS 46.445; OJD plaintiff instructions). Defendant may sign an Acceptance of Service.” Other civil cases follow their own rules.

Oregon contractor questions
Do I need a Oregon notary commission?
For notary and loan signing jobs in Oregon, yes: a commission from the Oregon Secretary of State, Corporation Division with at least 60 days left and E&O insurance of at least $100,000; loan signings also need a current NNA certification. Court runs and serves don't need a commission.

We can't say, and we don't promise any. Offers depend on client requests near your ZIP. There is no guarantee of jobs.
Am I an employee?
