Maryland Notice (Motion For Alternate Service) is a legal document used to serve notice to someone who is being sued. It is typically used when a person cannot be located or served in person. Motion For Alternate Service is a request to the court to allow service of the lawsuit through other means, such as mail, publication, or posting at the defendant’s last known address. There are two types of Maryland Notice (Motion For Alternate Service): service by publication and service by posting. Service by publication involves publishing a notice of the lawsuit in a local newspaper for a certain number of weeks. Service by posting involves posting a notice of the lawsuit at the defendant’s last known address. Both types of service must be approved by the court.
