IL Methods of Service
Illinois follows the same rules as other states, allowing for various methods of service. However, which method is right for you and your documents will depend on the nature of your case and the parties involved. Here are the most common options:
Personal service: When someone who is not a party to the case hand-delivers documents to the other side
Service by mail: When someone who is not a party to the case mails documents to the other side
Substituted service: If unable to reach the party in person, the process server can then leave the papers with someone else at the party’s residence or through certified mail. If it is impractical to serve traditionally, a judge can even order service by email or text.
Service by publication: When you publish the summons and complaint in a newspaper (this is usually for when you do not know where the other party lives or works)
Who to Serve and Where
Looking at the specifics of your case, determine if you’re suing an individual or a company, corporation, or group. That will help you decide who the correct person to serve is, and that will all be considered by your server.
Process Server Rules in Illinois
Servers do not need to be licensed, but they do need to be at least 18 years old, a legal resident, and not a party to the case in question.
