Who May Serve Papers in Licking County: Clerk Mail, Sheriff, Bailiff or Court-Designated Server
The designated-server path under Civ.R. 4.1(D) and (E) requires an application and an oath that the applicant is 18 or older, not a party, a citizen or legal resident, and holds valid photo ID, with no recent felony or dishonesty offense. The order lasts up to a year. The sheriff and municipal bailiff do not need that application. Ask the clerk what your court requires.
