Hawaii process server laws and regulations

The rules of civil procedure in Hawaii do not require a process server to be licensed, and any unbiased party over the age of 18 can become a private process server. Law enforcement officials such as a sheriff or a sheriff’s deputy, or a person designated by the court, may also deliver service of process.

However, the laws regulating process servers differ greatly from state to state, and are always subject to change. Thus, if you’re an attorney with nationwide offices, it’s important that you remain knowledgeable about the laws that a process server must comply with in each state.

A private process server in Hawaii must be knowledgeable about civil procedure rules and show legal compliance.

It’s important that a private process server in Hawaii is well-versed in the civil rules of procedure and can demonstrate legal compliance. Firefly Legal works with private process servers who have a proven track record of success and efficiency.

A process server in Hawaii must also comply with the following regulations.  

Process Server Regulations in Hawaii

In order to become a private process server in Hawaii, the individual must be over the age of 18 and cannot have a vested interest in a legal case. A private process server is also required to submit a letter to the court from either a state bar-certified attorney-at-law or a currently authorized process server.  

A process server must be recognized by the court and in many instances, a sheriff or a sheriff’s deputy will deliver service of process. Amendments to the Hawaii Rules of Civil Procedure may be made at any time, and mandates can change quickly.

Currently, here are some regulations that attorneys in Hawaii should understand before partnering with a process server:

  • Every summons must be signed by the court clerk.
  • A summons must include the date of issue.
  • A summons must include contact information for each named party in a case.
  • The name and address of a plaintiff’s attorney must be included in a summons.
  • A summons must be directed to the defendant, rather than the defendant’s attorney.
  • Each summons must include a warning that a failure to obey can result in a default judgment.
  • A process server must provide identification and proof that they are authorized to serve civil process.

Who a process server can serve

A private process server in Hawaii can serve the following parties:

  • Any individual over the age of 18
  • A person at the residence of an intended recipient who is over the age of 18
  • Managing agent or officer of a domestic or foreign corporation or partnership
  • Any agent doing business in Hawaii
  • Members of the board of directors of a condominium, cooperative housing, or planned community
  • A minor may be served via a person over the age of 18 who lives at the same residence
  • If a plaintiff does not know the name of a defendant or a defendant lives outside of Hawaii, service can be made through publication in a state newspaper.

What hours a process server can operate 

The Hawaii Rules of Civil Procedure prohibit delivery of a summons between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. However, a district or circuit court judge may make exceptions in writing that might allow a process server to deliver during these hours.

A process server in Hawaii is not restricted by holidays or the weekend, and can make deliveries on those days.

How to choose a private process server in Hawaii

Attorneys in Hawaii understand the importance of choosing the right process server. It’s important to research and vet process servers to avoid partnering with someone who might create obstacles to your case or use unethical methods.

When you partner with Firefly Legal, you can trust that a nationwide industry leader will provide you with a proven process server. You won’t have to waste your resources or exceed your budget by hiring a new process server for each case.

It’s vital that you look for the following before you select a private process server:

  • Adaptability
  • Client reviews and testimonials
  • Customized, innovative solutions
  • Featured use of technology
  • Incorporation of industry techniques and trends
  • Successful track record
  • Thorough understanding of Hawaii civil procedure laws
  • Transparent pricing and fees
