Proof of Service and the attempt record.
A Proof of Service records how court papers were served, including the documents, recipient, location and timing. The form and any additional requirements depend on the documents and the matter.
California Courts: serving court papers- After the work
- Review the reported result and applicable service documents shared in your client workspace. The record should reflect the work actually performed.
- If service is unsuccessful
- An unsuccessful attempt is recorded as an attempt. Discuss any further work, address change or additional instructions with the team within the scope of your request.
- Returning a document and filing it
- Receiving a Proof of Service does not by itself confirm that it has been filed with the court. Identify any filing task separately and review the reported submission result.
