Kentucky Service of Process by U.S. Marshal (USM-285) is a type of service of process used to serve legal documents to parties involved in court proceedings. It is carried out by U.S. Marshals, who are federal law enforcement officers appointed by the President of the United States. The USM-285 is a form completed by the U.S. Marshal's office when serving legal documents. It includes information about the service, such as the date and time of service, the name of the person served, and the name of the U.S. Marshal who served them. The USM-285 must be completed in full and filed with the court. There are two types of Kentucky Service of Process by U.S. Marshal (USM-285): in-person service and substituted or constructive service. In-person service involves a U.S. Marshal delivering the documents to the party involved in person. Substituted or constructive service is when the U.S. Marshal delivers the documents to a third party, such as a family member or an employee of the party involved.
