The Pennsylvania Affidavit of Personal Service is a legal document used to certify that a specific document was served on the appropriate person or entity in the state. It is used to provide proof that a document, such as a summons, complaint, subpoena, or other legal papers, was delivered to the appropriate party. The affidavit must be signed and notarized by the individual who served the document. There are three types of Pennsylvania Affidavit of Personal Service: 1) Affidavit of Service by Hand Delivery; 2) Affidavit of Service by Mail; and 3) Affidavit of Service by Publication. The Affidavit of Service by Hand Delivery is typically used when a document is served in person, while the Affidavit of Service by Mail is used when a document is served by mail. The Affidavit of Service by Publication is used when a document is served by publishing it in a newspaper or other publication. Each type of Pennsylvania Affidavit of Personal Service must include the details of the document served, the date and time when it was served, and the name of the person or entity served.
