Darke County Sheriff, Bailiff or Private Server?
Clerk-sent certified mail comes first. Hand delivery follows only if the plaintiff files a written request, and the sheriff, a municipal-court bailiff or a court-designated server then makes it.
Who May Serve Papers in Darke County: Clerk Mail, Sheriff, Bailiff or Court-Designated Server
Civ.R. 4.1 ties hand delivery to a written request and to a short list of people. Sheriffs serve for common pleas and county courts, bailiffs for municipal courts, and court-designated persons are the alternative, designated for up to a year on application and oath. If service isn't completed in 28 days, the server returns the process to the clerk with reasons.
