Sheriff/officer service — Massachusetts has no process server license. Under Mass. R. Civ. P. 4(c), service of process must be made by a sheriff, deputy sheriff, or special sheriff, by another person duly authorized by law — in practice a constable — or by a person specially appointed by the court. Constables are appointed locally and must file a bond with the town: at least $1,000 to serve smaller personal actions and summary process, and at least $5,000 to serve actions where damages do not exceed $7,000 (M.G.L. c. 41 § 92). Authority, not licensing, is the requirement. Constables are appointed by the city or town and must file an approved bond with the town clerk — not less than $1,000 for personal actions where damages are not laid above $200 and for summary process under chapter 239, and not less than $5,000 to serve writs where damages do not exceed $7,000 (M.G.L. c. 41 § 92). A private individual who is neither an officer nor a constable must be specially appointed by the court. Electronic filing does not change this: service of process must still go through a sheriff, deputy, constable, or court-appointed person.
