Serving papers in Washington
Before you serve papers in Washington
Who may serve papers, and whether a license or registration is needed, differs from state to state and sometimes county to county. Before you take a serve in Washington, make sure you meet the state's rules; we ask about it on the application. Check Washington'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 Department, District Court), service is described like this: “Plaintiff cannot serve personally. Sheriff, process server, non-party adult 18+, or registered/certified mail with return receipt; service complete at least 10 calendar days before the first hearing (RCW 12.40.040; AG page).” Rules for other case types differ.
