How to find the right private process server in Louisiana

Although your need for a great process server may be urgent, it’s important not to panic and connect with the first process server in Louisiana you find in internet search results. There are many private process servers who offer their services, but you need a professional you can trust with successful, compliant delivery.

Before you select the right professional, it’s vital that you thoroughly research process servers in your area to ensure your case doesn’t face dismissal due to failed service of process. 

If you partner with an unethical, irresponsible process server who cuts legal corners and provides inconsistent results, you can cause yourself unnecessary stress, liability risks, and may waste precious time and money.

Here are some of the qualities a great private process server in Louisiana should possess:

  • Adaptability
  • Assiduousness
  • Consistent and transparent communication

  • Efficiency
  • Innovation

Process server laws and regulations in Louisiana

If you’re an attorney in Louisiana who also has clients in other states, it’s important that the process servers you work with are adaptable and have a thorough knowledge of the unique laws and differences in each area. The Code of Civil Procedure sets the requirements for a process server in Louisiana and differs from the laws in neighboring states. 

For example, Texas laws may vary slightly from those in Louisiana. Although the regulatory nuances are subtle, it’s vital that a process server who works in both states demonstrates comprehensive knowledge of these differences. The Code of Civil Procedure is also subject to amendments, and can change at any time.

Firefly Legal will connect you with a private process server in Louisiana who has a proven track record of reliability, adaptability, and legal compliance. 

The difference between personal and domiciliary service in Louisiana

Although Louisiana doesn’t require licensing for process servers, a private process server must be over the age of 18 and cannot be a party to the case. However, state law does require personal service in some cases and domiciliary in others.

Personal service of process requires that an intended recipient is directly served at home, work, or wherever they’re located. This type of service of process is mandated in divorce cases when the involved parties still live together, if a defendant has a permanent Louisiana address but is located out of state, or if a defendant is temporarily staying at someone else’s home.

Domiciliary service of process can be left with an adult other than the intended recipient who lives at the recipient’s primary address (the address listed on their regular bills or on their driver’s license). In cases where personal service of process is not possible, domiciliary service of process can be utilized. However, if both parties in a case reside at the same address, personal service of process is required.          

Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure

Other laws and regulations for service of process in Louisiana include:

  • A process server must serve a summons or subpoena to a defendant within 10 days of the court filing unless proof of attempted delivery is presented to the court.
  • A citation service must occur within 90 days of court filing.
  • Depending on the nature of the case, a defendant has 21-30 days to respond to service of process.
  • A filing fee is required for every civil case. However, the fee may be waived in special circumstances and the U.S. Marshal Service may serve a summons or complaint. 
  • A pleading will appear on record within 1-2 business days of filing.
  • Receipt of delivery cannot be verified by an electronic signature.
  • A certificate of service acts as proof of delivery.

Hours a process server can serve

A process server in Louisiana can serve an intended recipient, via both personal and domiciliary service, any day of the week and at any time of day. There are no restrictions on weekends or holidays. 

However, the industry standard is to avoid serving anyone between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. Although it isn’t illegal to serve during this time period, it’s good practice to adhere to this time limitation whenever possible.

Who a process server can serve in Louisiana 

A private process server in Louisiana can serve any of the following parties through personal service:

  • A physician via a clerk of the physician’s office
  • An incarcerated person via personal service to the warden or designee
  • An individual named in more than one capacity of pleadings
  • An adult over the age of 18 
  • Parent, guardian, or custodian of a minor 
  • Designated agent or employee of suitable age of a domestic or foreign corporation
  • If a process server is unable to serve a named party in a case, personal service may be made to the office of the Louisiana Secretary of State
  • A partner or employee of suitable age of a domestic or foreign partnership
  • Agent or managing officer of an unincorporated association or limited liability company
  • Public officer or employee of suitable age of a political entity

We also may track their activity on social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram and look for geotags or check-ins.

If a named party in your case has moved from an address on record, switched jobs, or attempts to avoid getting served, we might utilize these methods to find them within the service of process deadline.

  • Technology:

Firefly Legal uses innovative technology solutions to ensure our quality of service. Tools like electronic data interface (EDI), scannable bar codes, waterfall processes and streamlined workflows allow us to meticulously track all facets of your case.
