A South Dakota Affidavit of Service is a document used to prove that court papers have been successfully served on another party. It is typically used by a process server or other court official who is serving legal documents to someone who is not present. There are two types of South Dakota Affidavit of Service: personal service and constructive service. Personal service is when court documents are personally served to the defendant by the process server. Constructive service is when court documents are served by posting them in a conspicuous place, such as a court bulletin board. Both types of service require the process server to provide an affidavit of service to the court, which must include the name of the person being served, the address where service was made, and the date and time service was completed.
