How to Become a Process Server

Process serving is one of the most accessible careers in the legal industry. In most states, you don't need a license or special training — just the right tools and a professional approach. Process servers deliver legal documents such as summons, subpoenas, complaints, and court orders to individuals and businesses involved in legal proceedings.

As a process server, you'll work directly with attorneys, law firms, and courts to ensure that due process is upheld. The work is flexible, can be done independently, and offers earning potential that scales with your effort and territory.

Requirements vary by state. Find your state's specific rules on our Process Server Laws page.
