RUNNING A PROCESS SERVING BUSINESS IN COVID 19

Service of Process can still be executed on the Attorney Generals office and most Registered Agents by mail and advance appointments. Since the registered agent is a legally designated point of contact for a business in state record. When courts, process servers, and state agencies want to get in touch with your business, they will almost always contact the registered agent.

In nearly every state, the registered agent must maintain a physical address and be available to receive legal and government notices during regular business hours. Documents, such as service of process, subpoenas, and wage garnishments are delivered to the registered agent in person. They usually require a signature from an individual on-site to confirm receipt. These documents are time-sensitive, and typically require a response or action within a few days or weeks.

The key for process servers is to pre-plan and call ahead in most cases requiring service on a business or government entity.
