Certified mail from the clerk is usual. Where the plaintiff asks for hand delivery in writing, the work goes to a sheriff, a municipal bailiff or a court-designated server.
Who May Serve Papers in Pickaway County: Clerk Mail, Sheriff, Bailiff or Court-Designated Server
For Pickaway County cases, Civ.R. 4.1 means the clerk mails unless the plaintiff asks for more, and the people who can do more are limited: the sheriff, a municipal bailiff and a court-designated person. That last category requires an application and an oath, and it expires after a year. Ask the clerk what your court requires.
