What Happens When You Can’t Find Someone to Serve Legal Papers?

Navigating evasive defendants, alternative service methods, and what to do next.

One of the most common frustrations in the legal system is trying to serve papers — and not being able to find the recipient. Whether they’ve moved, are avoiding service, or are simply off the radar, this can feel like hitting a wall.

At A Premier Process Server, we handle cases just like this every day. When traditional methods don’t work, here’s what we do:

• Skip tracing: Using legal investigative tools to track down the recipient

• Alternative service: When allowed, this may include service via posting, email, or third-party delivery

• Affidavits for due diligence: We document everything for court verification

  
  

 Tip: The earlier you involve a professional process server, the faster these roadblocks can be addressed — saving your legal team time and money.
