Who May Serve Papers in Clark County: Clerk Mail, Sheriff, Bailiff or Court-Designated Server
Residence service is the easiest method to misunderstand. Under Civ.R. 4.1(C) it means leaving the papers at the defendant's usual home with a person of suitable age and discretion who lives there, and it happens only after the plaintiff files a written request with the clerk. The sheriff or a court-designated person carries it out.
