We have completed reviewing all major US process server directories in our page Directories. We have ranked process server directories with a 1-5 star system (One star for the least useful process server directories and five stars for the most useful process server directories).
We have added more USA and New York process server listings, removed the Site Graph and other internal website pages and added a disclaimer indicating that we do not endorse process servers and we are not responsible for the actions of the process servers listed on this website. We also removed a very unprofessional process server located in Upstate New York from all our Upstate NY process server listings.

What Is a Process Server?
A process server is an individual who delivers legal documents to parties involved in litigation, as required by law. Specific rules and procedures regulate the delivery of said court documents. This legal activity is also known as "service of process" or "process service". Process servers (also known as "servers", "peace officers" , "deputy sheriffs" , "bailiffs" or "constables") are authorized to deliver legal documents (also known as "process") to defendants, witnesses or plaintiffs. The term "process" means any legal document that needs to be "served" (delivered), including subpoenas, writs, orders to show cause, petitions, complaints, summonses, citations, judgments, court orders, notices to appear, notice to tenants, etc.
Generally one of the main differences between a process server and a "delivery person" or courier is that process service usually involves delivery of legal documents and generally it is unwelcome by the recipients of process. Process servers deliver subpoenas, summonses, complaints, citations, petitions, court orders, notices, etc., which tend to be regarded as "bad news". Indeed, very few persons look forward to getting served with a summons and complaint. Furthermore, process servers' actions and procedures are generally regulated and established by laws and courts.
Although serving papers can be done by most persons who are over the age of 18 and who are not parties involved in the legal matter, in many states and cities process servers, sheriffs and constables must be licensed or registered. Certain cities also have specialized officers who function as process servers for specific cases. For example, in New York City, sheriffs, NYPD officers and marshals may effect process serving functions under certain circumstances. If you need an order of protection (restraining order) served you have the right to go to your local sheriff and ask him to serve it. NYC marshals will serve the final eviction papers on a tenant who has failed to pay rent. NYC Correction Officers will serve inmates in NYC correctional facilities.
Process servers are required to maintain records of their activities and to state under oath that they have effected service (affidavit of service or service return).
