FAQ
Serving papers in Mount Clemens: common questions.
General information about Michigan court rules, not legal advice. Your attorney or the court clerk can answer questions about your specific case.
My case is at the 16th Circuit. Can you serve someone outside Macomb County?
Yes. Papers can be served anywhere in Michigan. We cover the counties listed on our service area page; for other locations, ask.
Who can serve papers?
Any legally competent adult who isn’t a party, or an officer of a corporate party, under MCR 2.103(A).
What does the proof of service include?
The name of the person served, the date, time, and place, the method, and the server’s signature. That’s the information MCR 2.104(A) calls for.
Can I use certified mail instead?
MCR 2.105(A)(2) allows it with return receipt and restricted delivery, but it only works if the defendant signs. Personal service is more reliable.
