Serving in Rhode Island
Before you serve papers in Rhode Island
In small claims cases (District Court, Small Claims), the official pages describe service like this: “Personal delivery to the person or a suitable adult at the dwelling, or to an authorized agent; corporations via officer, managing/general agent, office employee or authorized agent; out of state by disinterested person or registered/certified mail return receipt requested (Rule 2.03). Service within 120 days.” Rules differ for other case types.
Some places license or register process servers, some require a court appointment, and some have no separate rule. It is up to you to meet Rhode Island's; we ask on the application.
