What is a simple form of affidavit? As aforementioned, a simple affidavit is a sworn statement made in writing. The party giving the written statement declares the facts stated are true and confirms this under oath. It must be signed before an officer who is empowered to administer such oaths.

Original process requires the responding party to be served either by certified mail (with the signed green card attached), personal service, service to attorney of record, or both certified and regular mail. Serving the responding party by regular mail alone is not service of original process.

If a rule of civil procedure authorizes original process to be served by mail, a copy of the process shall be mailed to the defendant by any form of mail requiring a receipt signed by the defendant or his authorized agent. Service is complete upon delivery of the mail.
