Process Servers in Rhode Island should be prepared to serve a variety of legal documents including a summons, complaint, subpoena, court orders and even assist in a civil standby or "stake out" when appropriate.

• Process servers are essential to Rhode Island's legal system, ensuring legal documents are served in compliance with Rhode Island Rules of Civil Procedure. Proper service is critical to due process, as improper service can result in case delays, dismissals, or unenforceable judgments. Rhode Island requires service to be conducted by sheriffs or authorized individuals, with strict adherence to procedural rules to uphold the integrity and fairness of legal proceedings.

• Contact the County directly if you have any questions regarding specific fees, registrations, bonds etc.
