Submitting Substitute Service in ABC Mobile

How to Submit Substitute Service in ABC Mobile

Step 1: Select Who Received the Documents

After tapping "Served", you will be prompted to select the recipient.

  • If you obtained their name, select "New Contact".

  • Enter their full name if available.

  • If you only got a first name, enter it as {First Name} Doe (e.g., Mark Doe)

Step 2: Confirm the Recipient's Relationship & Residency

⚠️ IMPORTANT: To ensure the service is legally valid, confirm both of the following:

✅ Their relationship to the subject. (e.g., spouse, roommate, family member, etc.)

✅ That they currently reside at the service address.

Step 3: Document Delivery

  • Once the recipient's identity is verified, hand them the documents with minimal explanation.

  • The recipient must physically take possession of the documents.

Step 4: Verify Identity & Record a Physical Description

On the next screen, select how you confirmed the recipient’s identity. Just like with personal service, document a full physical description, including:

  • Gender

  • Race

  • Age

  • Height & Weight

  • Hair color & style

  • Any other identifiable features (tattoos, glasses, scars, etc.)

👉 If you're unsure about exact details, make you best estimate based on observation.

Note: Remember to complete the service log with the attempt reporting requirements!
