How to Serve Court Documents in Florida – A Complete 2025 Guide

What is Process Serving?

Process serving is the delivery of legal documents—such as summonses, subpoenas, complaints, and writs—to the individuals or entities named in a legal proceeding. It ensures they are properly notified and have the opportunity to respond.
