Below are answers to some of the most common questions we receive about process serving in Connecticut. If you have a question that is not addressed here, please call us at (203) 907-4156.
In Connecticut, process may be served by a state marshal or any indifferent person who is not a party to the action. Connecticut Process Service LLC employs trained, experienced servers who qualify as indifferent persons under Connecticut law and who understand proper service procedures.
Connecticut law generally allows in-hand service (personal service) and abode service, where the documents are left at the defendant's usual place of abode. In some cases, service by publication or other alternative methods may be authorized by the court after a showing of due diligence.
Most routine service is completed within 3 to 5 business days. Rush and same-day service are available for an additional fee. The exact timeline depends on the location, the availability of the person being served, and the type of service required.
We make multiple attempts at different times and days to effect service. If the individual continues to avoid service, we can provide detailed due diligence documentation to support a motion for alternative service with the court. We also offer skip tracing to locate individuals who have moved.
We provide a sworn affidavit of service (also called a return of service) that documents the date, time, location, and manner of service. This affidavit is suitable for filing with the court and meets all Connecticut requirements for proof of service.
