What is a Certificate of Service?

Photo By Nongpimmy
A certificate of service is a statement of the date and manner in which a copy of a pleading, motion, or other documents was served on all parties or their counsel of record.

The information must include the:
• Method of service
• Date of service
• Name and address of the individual served

Although similar to the Affidavit of Service (Proof of Service), the Certificate of Service is a separate document that must be filed within a set number of days of filing the initial complaint.  
Not all jurisdictions require a certificate of service; always verify the rules and requirements with your local court.

A failure to file a certificate of service may result in a Notice of Failure to Comply and sanctions imposed by the court.

  1. Whatever file you got it's nice to create a copy of everything you've researched and studied or saved in a soft and hard copy and then put it in a custom pocket folder. To be able to make sure you put everything in place and organize every file you have just as this one, if ever you plan to file or check anything.
