The Maryland Certificate of Service (24kb) is a document used to certify that a person has been served with a summons and complaint or other legal documents. This document is required by the Maryland Rules of Civil Procedure to prove that the respondent has been properly served with the legal papers. The form is used to certify that the papers were served on the respondent either by personal service, certified mail, or other means as specified by the Rules. There are two types of Maryland Certificate of Service (24kb): Type 1 is used when the papers are served personally, and Type 2 is used when the papers are served by certified mail. The form must be completed and signed by the person who served the papers, and must include the date of service, the name of the respondent, the address where the papers were served, and the method of service. The Maryland Certificate of Service (24kb) must be filed with the court as proof of service.
