Who May Serve Papers in Licking County: Clerk Mail, Sheriff, Bailiff or Court-Designated Server
What Ohio calls residence service is narrower than people expect. Civ.R. 4.1(C) means leaving the papers at the usual residence with a person of suitable age and discretion who lives there. Both residence and personal service need a written request filed with the clerk. A server who cannot deliver within 28 days returns the process with the reasons. Our sheriff comparison covers who handles it.
