Affidavit of Service

An affidavit of service is a legal document that proves a party has been properly served with legal papers, such as a complaint or summons. The affidavit is completed by the person who served the documents, often a process server or sheriff. It includes details such as the date, time, and manner of service, as well as a description of the documents served. The affidavit of service is filed with the court to demonstrate that proper service was accomplished and the defendant had notice of the legal proceeding.
