New York Instructions for Service of Subpoena (CIV-GP-63) is a document that is used to compel someone to appear in court or produce documents or other records in a lawsuit. This document is issued by the court to the person responsible for delivering the subpoena to the recipient, usually a process server. There are two types of New York Instructions for Service of Subpoena (CIV-GP-63): personal service and substituted service. Personal service requires the recipient to be served the subpoena directly, either by the process server or by someone over 18 years of age. Substituted service requires the process server to serve the recipient indirectly, such as through mail, posting notice on the recipient’s door, or leaving the papers with someone of suitable age and discretion. The Instructions for Service of Subpoena (CIV-GP-63) must be completed by the process server, including the date and time of service, the manner of service, the name and address of the recipient, and the signature of the server. The document must then be filed with the court. The Instructions for Service of Subpoena must be served before the date set for the recipient to appear in court or produce documents or other records.
