What Is a Process Server?

A process server is an individual who delivers legal documents to parties involved in
litigation, as required by law. Specific rules and procedures regulate the delivery of
said court documents, which is an activity also known as
"service of process" or
"process service".  Process servers (also known as "servers", "peace officers" ,
"deputy sheriffs" , "bailiffs" or "constables") are authorized to deliver process to
defendants, witnesses or plaintiffs. The term "process" means any legal document
that needs to be "served" (delivered)., and it includes subpoenas, writs, orders to
show cause, petitions, complaints, summonses, citations, judgments, court orders,
notices to appear, notice to tenants, etc.

Generally one of the main differences between a process server and a "delivery
person" or courier is that process service is usually unwelcome by the recipients of
process.
Indeed, very few persons in United States look forward to getting served
with a summons and complaint.
Furthermore, process servers' actions and
procedures are generally mandated by laws and courts. Although serving papers
can be done by most persons over the age of 18 who are not parties involved in the
legal matter, in many states and cities process servers must be licensed or
registered. Certain cities have specialized officers who function as process servers
for specific cases. For example, in New York City  sheriffs, NYPD officers and
marshals may effect process serving under some circumstances. If you need an
order of protection served you may go to your local station house and ask an NYPD
police officer to serve it. A NYC marshal will serve the final eviction papers on a
tenant who has failed to pay rent.

Process servers are required to maintain records of their activities and to state under
oath that they have effected service (affidavit of service or service return).

What is the Difference Between Legal Process Service and Courier Services in United States?
 
Legal Process Service
Mail Service (Courier Services)
    Examples :
    Superior Services JD, Inc.
    CB Investigations and Process Service
    FedEx, United States Postal Service, UPS, DHL, Urban Express.
    What they deliver :
    Summonses, citations, complaints, subpoenas and other court papers.
    Letters, documents, packages, staples and goods.
    Can they "serve" Court papers?
    Yes, serving is the process of delivering legal documents under the rules
    established by law. Process servers must deliver legal documents and
    issue affidavits of service
    No. Postal carriers may deliver court papers but they don't have
    authority to legally serve them.  Only mailing a legal document is
    not sufficient service, in most jurisdictions.
    Fee for delivering a summons or
    a one-page Court document :
    Usually from $45 to $150 per individual served.
    The cost of mailing (From 46 cents to $24 depending on the
    speed of delivery and the address of recipient).
    License needed?
    Yes. In most states and jurisdictions there are rules to comply with.  For
    process servers, licencing is required in New York, Nevada, Florida
    California, Massachusetts and other states.
    Most couriers only need a driver's license.
    Paperwork:
    All process servers must ALWAYS document the circumstances of
    service , describe defendants and issue affidavits of service.
    Sometimes they are required to get signatures from
    addressees (Delivery confirmation). For regular mail no
    documentation needs to be completed.
    Is this service welcome by recipients?
    Rarely . Usually process servers must  deal with process service evaders
    and violent individuals.
    Always welcome at your home. Your dog may disagree.
