Absent a written request, the clerk mails the summons by certified mail; with that request, the sheriff, a municipal-court bailiff or a court-designated server delivers it.
Who May Serve Papers in Carroll County: Clerk Mail, Sheriff, Bailiff or Court-Designated Server
The idea that a litigant may hire any private person to serve is a misreading of Civ.R. 4.1. In Ohio the clerk mails, and in-person delivery goes through the sheriff, a municipal bailiff or a person the court has designated by order. A designation requires an application and an oath and lasts up to a year. The Ohio sheriff guide compares the options.
