Clerk mail is the default; a written plaintiff's request for personal or residence service shifts the summons to the sheriff, a municipal-court bailiff or a court-designated server.
Who May Serve Papers in Wayne County: Clerk Mail, Sheriff, Bailiff or Court-Designated Server
Villagers sometimes assume a village marshal can serve a summons. The rule, Civ.R. 4.1, names only the clerk, the sheriff, the municipal bailiff and a person designated by the court. A designation order lasts up to a year, and a server who cannot deliver within 28 days returns the process with the reasons. See the Ohio sheriff comparison.
