Affidavit of Service

An affidavit of service is a legal document that certifies that a party has been properly served with legal papers, such as a complaint or summons. It is typically completed by the person who served the documents, such as a process server or sheriff, and filed with the court as proof of service. The affidavit must include information about the date, time, and manner of service, as well as the name and address of the person served. It may also include a description of the documents served and any attempts made to serve the party before successful service was achieved. The purpose of the affidavit of service is to ensure that the defendant has received proper notice of the lawsuit and to establish the court’s jurisdiction over the case.
