Frequently Asked Questions
No. Alabama does not require a specific license to serve process. Under ARCP 4(i)(1)(B), a person not less than nineteen (19) years of age who is not a party and is not related within the third degree by blood or marriage to the party seeking service may serve as an alternative to delivery by the sheriff. No court order or designation is required for this route.
The average cost for routine process service in Alabama ranges from $45 to $100 per serve. Rush service, same-day service, and skip tracing may cost additional fees. Prices vary by county and the complexity of the serve. You can request bids from multiple servers on our platform to compare rates.
Under Alabama law, service of process must be completed within 120 days of the complaint being filed. Once the process server receives the documents, they have 60 days to complete service and file the return of service with the court.
Yes. Under ARCP 4(i)(1)(B), as an alternative to delivery by the sheriff, any person not less than nineteen (19) years of age who is not a party and is not related within the third degree by blood or marriage to the party seeking service may serve. No court order or designation is required for this route.
If personal service cannot be completed, Alabama allows substitute service under ARCP Rule 4.3 — leaving copies at the person's usual place of abode with a resident of suitable age. If the person cannot be found after diligent search, the court may authorize service by publication in a newspaper.
