If a Defendant Does Not Answer the Door A process server cannot compel a defendant to answer the door. In some cases, people who know a lawsuit has been filed against them will attempt to avoid service. They may erroneously believe that this means the case will simply go away. It won't.
Personal Service: You can tell someone else to personally deliver or serve the copies. The server must be older than 18 and may not be a party in the case. The server must then complete and sign the back of the original summons form and return it to you so you can file it with the court.
The most common way is to deliver a copy of the Complaint or other legal filing to the Defendant. A process server may also leave copies of the paperwork at the person's house. However, the documents must be received by someone at the home who is at least 15 years of age.
In Florida, process servers may need to make from 1 up to 3 service attempts before they can request to use alternative methods of service. These attempts must be made at different times of the day and on different days of the week.
