Who May Serve Papers in Perry County: Clerk Mail, Sheriff, Bailiff or Court-Designated Server
Ohio's rule on who serves is more specific than a general idea of a private process server. Civ.R. 4.1(D) starts with age (18 or older) and independence from the parties, adds citizenship or legal residence and valid photo ID, and looks back ten years at the person's record. The Civ.R. 4.1 article lists the remaining requirements.
