Description Return Of Service Example

An Affidavit is a sworn, written statement of facts, signed by the 'affiant' (the person making the statement) before a notary public or other official witness. The affiant swears to the truth and accuracy of the statement contained in the affidavit. This form is used as proof that someone has been served court-related documents by a process server. It is then filed with the court stating whether process was served, and the date that service took place.

Florida Verified Return of Service is a service provided by the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (BPR) that verifies the return of documents such as summons, complaints, and other legal documents. This verification process confirms that the documents were properly served to the accused or respondent. It is commonly used in civil lawsuits, family law proceedings, and other court cases. There are two types of Florida Verified Return of Service: Personal Service and Service by Mail. Personal Service is the process of delivering documents directly to a party or individual. Service by Mail involves sending documents through the United States Postal Service. The BPR provides specific instructions for both types of service and must be followed for the verification process to be successful.
