About Process Serving in Wisconsin
Wisconsin does not require a license to serve process. Under Wis. Stat. §801.10(1), any adult 18 or older who is not a party to the action may serve, provided they are a resident of the state where service is made. Wisconsin's substitute service requires first making reasonable diligence efforts at personal service, then leaving documents at the abode with a competent family member 14 or older or another adult resident.
