The Minnesota Affidavit of Service By Mail (Eviction) is a legal document used to prove that a summons, complaint, or other legal documents were properly served to a tenant or other party by mail. This document is typically used in eviction cases in Minnesota. There are two types of Minnesota Affidavit of Service By Mail (Eviction): General Affidavit of Service By Mail and Certified Mail Affidavit of Service By Mail. The General Affidavit of Service By Mail requires the server to complete the affidavit and sign it in the presence of a notary public. It must include the date of service, the address of the tenant, and a description of the documents served. The Certified Mail Affidavit of Service By Mail requires the server to obtain a certified mail receipt, which must be attached to the affidavit. This affidavit must include the address of the tenant, the date of the mailing, and the certified mail number. Both types of affidavits must be filed with the court.
