Nevada Proof of Service is a legal document that serves to prove a defendant was notified of a lawsuit or other legal action. It is also known as a Process Server Affidavit or a Proof of Service of Process. It is used to prove that the defendant was properly served and that the plaintiff has complied with the legal requirements to begin a lawsuit. There are three main types of Nevada Proof of Service: personal service, substituted service, and service by mail. Personal Service is the most common type of Nevada Proof of Service. It requires that the defendant be personally served with the paperwork by an authorized process server. The process server must personally hand the documents to the defendant and provide proof that the defendant was served. Substituted Service is another type of Nevada Proof of Service. It allows the process server to serve a family member or other person of suitable age and discretion, or to post the documents in a conspicuous place if no one is available to accept service. The process server must also provide proof that the defendant was made aware of the documents. Service by Mail is the last type of Nevada Proof of Service. It requires that the process server mail copies of the documents to the defendant via certified mail, return receipt requested. The process server must provide proof that the documents were sent and received.
