A clerk-mailed certified summons is the default. Writing to the clerk for personal service shifts the delivery to a sheriff, municipal bailiff or court-designated server.
Who May Serve Papers in Cuyahoga County: Clerk Mail, Sheriff, Bailiff or Court-Designated Server
In a county this large, plaintiffs sometimes expect process serving to be an open market. Civ.R. 4.1 keeps it narrow: after a written request, only the sheriff, a municipal bailiff or a court-designated person delivers. The court designates for up to a year on application and oath. Ask the clerk what your court requires.
