A South Carolina Affidavit of Service is a legal document used to validate that an individual was served a specific document in the State of South Carolina. It is typically used in civil proceedings as a way to prove that the other party was formally notified of the case. The affidavit must be signed and notarized by the person who served the document and should contain a description of the document that was served, the date of service, the name of the person served, and contact information of the individual who served the document. There are two types of South Carolina Affidavit of Service: an Affidavit of Service by Mail and an Affidavit of Personal Service. An Affidavit of Service by Mail is used when a document is sent via mail, such as a summons or complaint. An Affidavit of Personal Service is typically used when a process server delivers a document to a person in person.
