Without a written request, the clerk mails the summons certified; with one, delivery is by the sheriff, a municipal-court bailiff or a court-designated server.
Who May Serve Papers in Greene County: Clerk Mail, Sheriff, Bailiff or Court-Designated Server
Unclaimed certified mail is the usual reason plaintiffs ask for hand delivery. Ohio's rules then send the clerk to the sheriff of the county where the party resides or may be found, and because Civ.R. 4.6(A) allows service anywhere in Ohio, a defendant just across a county line is still reachable. A court-designated person is the other option under Civ.R. 4.1. See the Civ.R. 4.1 article.
