About Process Serving in Louisiana
Louisiana uses a sheriff-first service system. All civil process is initially directed to the sheriff under CCP Art. 1291. If the sheriff cannot serve within 10 days, the court may appoint a private person to serve on motion of the plaintiff under CCP Art. 1293. Private servers are court-appointed only and need not hold any special license.
- License Required: Louisiana does not require a statewide license, but primary service is by sheriff. Private persons may serve only after court appointment under CCP Art. 1293, when the sheriff has been unable to serve within 10 days.
- Age Requirement: 18 years or older
- Governing Statutes: Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure Arts. 1231, 1232, 1234, 1291, 1293; R.S. 13:3204
- Service Deadline: Sheriff must attempt within 10 days of receipt or certify unable; court may then appoint private person on motion (CCP Art. 1293A)
- Allowed Service Types: Personal service (CCP 1232: tender to person), domiciliary/substitute service (CCP 1234: leave with suitable age/discretion resident at dwelling), service by publication for specific cases with court order
- Average Cost Range: $30–$150 for routine service
- Special Requirements: Private servers are court-appointed only. No statewide bonding, training, or certification required. Proof of service by affidavit or return.

Frequently Asked Questions
No statewide license is required, but private persons may only serve process in Louisiana after being appointed by the court under CCP Art. 1293 — and only after the sheriff has failed to serve within 10 days. The sheriff is the primary process server in Louisiana. No bonding, training, or certification is required for court-appointed private servers.
Sheriff service in Louisiana costs approximately $30–$60 per service based on statutory minimum fees. Private process servers, when appointed by the court, typically charge $75–$150 or more depending on complexity and location. Request bids from verified servers on the Mighty Process Server platform.
Under CCP Art. 1293A, the sheriff must attempt service within 10 days of receiving the citation or certify their inability to serve. Once the sheriff certifies inability, the court may appoint a private server on the plaintiff's motion. There is no fixed statewide deadline for private servers after appointment, but prompt service is required.
No. Louisiana process is primarily served by the sheriff under CCP Art. 1291. Private individuals may serve only after being specifically appointed by the court under CCP Art. 1293, which requires the sheriff to have first attempted and failed to serve. Unauthorized private service is ineffective.
If domiciliary/personal service cannot be completed, Louisiana allows domiciliary substitute service under CCP Art. 1234 by leaving documents with a person of suitable age and discretion at the defendant's residence. For certain types of cases, service by publication is authorized with a court order.
