Proof of Service
The court requires that the plaintiff file an Affidavit of Service
(Private Process) (CC-DR-55) or Affidavit of Service (Certified Mail ) (CC-DR-56)
form to prove that the other side has been notified, or served. The plaintiff cannot
serve the summons and must provide service through a third party over the age of

defendant to file an answer, the plaintiff may not be able to present his/her case on
the trial date.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
