The job

## The process server job, day to day

- Serving summonses, complaints, subpoenas and notices in person
- Recording each attempt (time, place, photo) in our portal as it happens
- Completing the proof or affidavit of service that Washington requires and uploading it
- Filings and records runs too, only if you opt in

What you need

## What we require

- 18 or older, and never a party to a case you serve
- Upload your driver's license, registration and auto insurance with the application
- A background check from the last 12 months; an established business can ask the owner to waive it instead, with a link to its reviews
- The license or registration your area requires for serving in Washington, if any, uploaded with the application
- A phone that records location and photos for each attempt

Pay

## How pay works

Each job shows its pay up front, in dollars, before you commit. Take it, pass, or make a counter-offer; passing never counts against you.

Requests are offered as they arrive, near your ZIP anywhere in Washington (Seattle, Spokane and Tacoma and beyond). How many come in depends on clients, and no amount of work is promised.

This is 1099 independent contractor work.

Serving in Washington

## Before you serve papers in Washington

One example from Washington's official pages, for small claims (Small Claims Department, District Court): “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).” Other kinds of cases follow different service rules.

Rules on who may serve, and whether a license or registration is needed, vary by state and sometimes by county or city. You must meet Washington's rules for every serve you take, and the application asks about it.

Apply

Apply with the form below and upload your driver's license, vehicle registration, auto insurance and background check (plus a server license where one applies). A complete application can be approved automatically.

After approval, the portal asks for two things, the signed contractor agreement and a W-9. Then job offers arrive by email, or by text once you opt in.

## Washington process server questions

**Do I need a license to serve papers in Washington?**

It depends on Washington'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 Washington?**

It depends on demand near you. There is no guaranteed volume.

**Am I an employee?**

No. You are an independent contractor who chooses every job and can counter any offer.
