Under § 8.01-275.1, service must be effected within 12 months of commencing the action. This is one of the longer service windows among U.S. states. Extensions are possible if the plaintiff demonstrates due diligence in attempting service. Failure to serve within 12 months can result in dismissal without prejudice.
Yes, with qualifications. Any person 18 or older who is not a party or interested in the subject matter may serve most civil process in Virginia under § 8.01-293. Sheriffs and deputies also serve. However, certain processes such as evictions are restricted to sheriffs under § 8.01-293 B and cannot be delegated to private individuals.
If personal delivery cannot be completed, Virginia allows substituted service under § 8.01-296 by leaving documents with a family member 16 or older at the defendant's abode, or by posting documents at the abode and mailing a copy. If the defendant cannot be found, service by publication may be authorized by the court after a showing that other methods have failed.
