How to Serve Papers in New York
Service of process in New York may be effected in person (personal service), by delivering upon a person of suitable age (substituted service),
by "nail an mail" (conspicuous place service), and by publication. As of December 31, 2012, non-traditional manners of service: service by
email, service by fax and service through Facebook or Twitter are still considered unacceptable manners of service in the State of New York.
The main purpose of service of process is to apprise the defendant, plaintiff or other recipient of process of the pendency of a legal action by
delivering a notice to appear, court judgment, court order, court decision, subpoena or any court document to said individual or business entity.
Generally the word "process" refers to a subpoena, writ of summons, civil summons, citation, subpoena, court order, judgment, or notice to
appear. A process server is a person engaged in the activity of delivering legal process to individuals or corporations. Process serving in New
York City may be effected only by a licensed process server if the person engaged in process service serves more than five cases per year.
Process server licenses are issued by the New York City Department of Consumers Affairs for two year periods. Long Island and Upstate New
York do not require process servers to be licensed.
Contrary to widely held popular beliefs wrongly promoted by newspapers and television, service of process must not be effected by using
tricks (E.g. : Disguise yourself as a nun and serve the evasive priest who is hiding in church or announce yourself as the pizza delivery guy in
order to get the defendant to open the entrance door of her home) and process servers do not need to get the recipients' signatures in order
to complete service. Click here to read more about NY Process Serving Laws.
Process Serving Methods in New York State:
Personal Service. Most divorce summonses and Family Court visitation and custody petitions must be served in person.
Substituted Service. If the named defendant is not present, it is acceptable to serve process upon a person of suitable age and discretion who
resides at the defendant's place of abode or who is authorized to accept process on behalf of said defendant. Matrimonial cases and Family
Court Visitation/Custody cases may not be served in this manner but Child Support petitions, landlord/tenant cases and civil summonses and
complaints may be served by using this method.
Conspicuous Place Service. If the defendant resides at the address provided but refuses to open the entrance door to his home to accept
process, in many cases a Notice to Tenant, Demand for Payment of Rent, Notice of Petition Non-payment, Notice of Petition Holdover,
Summons and Complaint may be served upon said defendant by affixing it on the entrance door of said premises. True copies of the
pleadings affixed must be also be mailed by regular mail. In some cases both regular mail and certified mail are required to complete service.
Service by Mail. In some cases , New York courts will only require that service of process be effected by mailing true copies of the summons
and complaint by regular mail or by certified mail or both. In some cases, postal service return receipt service is also required. This manner of
service must be expressly authorized by the court. Examples of papers served by this method are Orders to Show Cause and Small Claims
Court Notice of Claim (In New York City, the Small Claims Court usually mails the notices on your behalf).
Service by publication. As a last resort, service of process by publication is acceptable, if ordered by a judge, when personal service or
substituted service cannot be completed. For example for a defendant whose last known place of abode was in the City of New York and the
process server has attempted service at said address multiple times and issued an affidavit of attempted service (due diligence affidavit), a
court may order that the summons be published by a major newspaper which circulates in the City of New York. This manner of service is the
most expensive because publishing a summons on a New York City newspaper (Usually the court decides which newspaper you must use)
may cost you from $800-$4000.
