Serving in Tennessee
Service rules in Tennessee
Small claims cases in Tennessee are heard in the General Sessions Court (civil); the court's rules say who may serve and how.
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 Tennessee's; we ask on the application.
