Submitting Substitute Service in ABC Mobile

How to Submit Substitute Service in ABC Mobile

Step 1: Select Who Received the Documents

After tapping "Served", you will be prompted to select the recipient. 

  • If you obtained their name, select "New Contact".
  • Enter their full name if available. 
  • If you only got a first name, enter it as {First Name} Doe (e.g., Mark Doe)

Step 2: Confirm the Recipient's Relationship & Residency

⚠️ IMPORTANT: To ensure the service is legally valid, confirm both of the following:

     ✅ Their relationship to the subject. (e.g., spouse, roommate, family member, etc.)

     ✅ That they currently reside at the service address.

Step 3: Document Delivery

  • Once the recipient's identity is verified, hand them the documents with minimal explanation.
  • The recipient must physically take possession of the documents. 

Step 4: Verify Identity & Record a Physical Description 

On the next screen, select how you confirmed the recipient’s identity.

Just like with personal service, document a full physical description, including:

  • Gender
  • Race
  • Age
  • Height & Weight
  • Hair color & style
  • Any other identifiable features (tattoos, glasses, scars, etc.)

👉 If you're unsure about exact details, make you best estimate based on observation. 

Note: Remember to complete the service log with the attempt reporting requirements!
