Information Sheet For Proof of Service

This information sheet provides instructions for serving documents in the Court of Appeal in California. Service can be done by mail, personal delivery, or electronically. The document to be served needs to be given to someone over 18 years of age who is not a party in the case if it is being served by mail or personal delivery. If it is being served electronically, it can be done by the party themselves or someone over 18. The server must complete the Proof of Service (Court of Appeal) or Proof of Electronic Service (Court of Appeal) form, provide the names of those served and the date of service, and sign it. The original form should then be given to the party for whom the documents were served.
