Virginia, like most states in the United States, has a legal process for serving legal documents, such as court papers, subpoenas, and other legal notices. Process servers are individuals or companies responsible for delivering these legal documents to the intended recipients in accordance with state laws. Here is an overview of the process server requirements and procedures in Virginia:
Licensing and Registration: As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, Virginia does not have a statewide licensing or registration requirement specifically for process servers. However, individual cities or counties in Virginia may have their own rules and regulations regarding the licensing or registration of process servers. It’s essential to check with the local jurisdiction where service is needed to determine any specific requirements.

Methods of Service: Process servers in Virginia can serve legal documents through various methods, including personal service (delivering the documents directly to the individual named in the lawsuit), certified mail with return receipt requested, or publication (if other methods are unsuccessful). The specific rules for each method are detailed in the state statutes.
Proof of Service: After serving the documents, the process server is required to complete an affidavit of service or proof of service, which includes details of when, where, and how the service was performed. This affidavit is usually filed with the court to provide evidence that the recipient was properly served.
Yes, a Process Server can trespass… If a Process Server is on private property that has “No Trespassing” signs clearly posted in highly visible locations on the property, and that process server has been to that location prior and someone at that location has told the process server that the Defendant no longer lives there, or has never lived there, the server can be arrested for trespassing. However, if that process server believes through the information available to him/her that the defendant does live there the process server can come back and leave the papers with whoever lives there in domicile with the defendant.
Can a Process Server serve someone else? Yes, a process server can serve someone else. In the State of Maryland under the rules of civil procedure, a process server can perform substitute residential service. This allows a process server to serve someone over the age of 18 years of age, and who is also a resident living in domicile with the defendant.
