A written request from the plaintiff for personal or residence service shifts a summons from clerk-mailed certified delivery to the sheriff, a municipal-court bailiff or a court-designated server.
Who May Serve Papers in Auglaize County: Clerk Mail, Sheriff, Bailiff or Court-Designated Server
Ohio's unusual structure means the clerk is often your first and only server. If the mail fails, Civ.R. 4.6 provides the follow-up options, and the serving party stays responsible for checking whether service was made. Civ.R. 4.1 allows the sheriff or a court-designated person to deliver in hand when requested. The Ohio sheriff guide explains the tradeoffs.
