Service by mail: In certain instances, service of process via certified mail with a return receipt requested is acceptable. However, this method is subject to specific requirements outlined by the California Rules of Court.

As an individual without formal legal training, I am seeking the expertise and assistance of the Contra Costa County Sheriff's Department to ensure that the service of process is carried out in accordance with the law and regulations.
