The clerk begins with certified mail; a written request for personal or residence service moves it to the sheriff, a municipal-court bailiff or a court-designated server.
Who May Serve Papers in Wood County: Clerk Mail, Sheriff, Bailiff or Court-Designated Server
Plaintiffs who have handled cases in other states may expect a private server to do it all. Ohio's Civ.R. 4.1 is different: the court designates a person for up to a year after an application showing the person is at least 18, uninterested in the case, a citizen or legal resident, and clear of recent serious convictions. The sheriff remains the default. Read the sheriff versus private server article.
