Union Township Process Server FAQ

The clerk tells the plaintiff, and ordinary mail can follow on written request (Civ.R. 4.6).

Civ.R. 4.1 answers both: the sheriff, a bailiff or a person the court designates.
Can I serve a subpoena on a hospital or out-of-state witness?
Yes; Civ.R. 45(B) lists who may serve, and UIDDA handles other states.
