Absent any request, the clerk sends the summons through certified mail. If a plaintiff files for personal or residence service, the sheriff, a municipal-court bailiff or a court-designated server does it.
Who May Serve Papers in Licking County: Clerk Mail, Sheriff, Bailiff or Court-Designated Server
Licking County follows Ohio's Civ.R. 4.1 like all counties: the clerk's mail first, hand service only on written request. The sheriff, a municipal bailiff or a person the court designates then receives the papers. Court designations are limited to one year and require an oath that the person, among other things, is not a party and has valid government photo ID. Ask the clerk what your court requires. Compare in our sheriff and private server guide.
