Arizona Acceptance of Service is a legal document used by a defendant to acknowledge the receipt of a summons, complaint, or other legal documents from a plaintiff. This document is also known as an Acknowledgement of Service in Arizona. It is a way for the defendant to acknowledge receipt of the document and communicate to the court that the defendant is aware of the complaint and has taken steps to respond to it. There are two types of Arizona Acceptance of Service: by mail and in-person. When accepting by mail, the defendant must sign the document and return it to the court or to the plaintiff. When accepting in-person, the defendant must appear before the court and sign the document in the presence of a court clerk or other court officer. In either case, the defendant must provide the exact name and address of the plaintiff. The court will then send the plaintiff a copy of the signed document.
