A party in an out-of-state proceeding who is requesting a Maryland subpoena must request issuance of a subpoena by submitting a foreign subpoena to the clerk of the circuit court for the county in which discovery is sought. The clerk then issues a Maryland subpoena that incorporates the terms of the foreign subpoena.
A party may serve a subpoena on the State of Maryland by serving the Attorney General or an individual designated by the Attorney General (Md. Rule 2-124(j)). A party may serve a subpoena on an officer or agency of the State of Maryland by serving: 220e The resident agent designated by the officer or agency.
Failure to respond to a subpoena is punishable as contempt by either the court or agency issuing the subpoena. Punishment may include monetary sanctions (even imprisonment although extremely unlikely).
A subpoena must be served by delivering a copy to the person named or to an agent designated to receive service on their behalf, or by mailing the subpoena to them using certified, restricted mail.For more information about service rules, see Frequently Asked Questions About Service of Process in Maryland.
