Legal Ways to Serve Someone in Arizona
All processes can be operated anywhere within the territorial boundaries of the state. The person establishing Arizona Process Service will file an affidavit stating the nature and date of publication and shipment, as well as the circumstances justifying the use of the approved procedure, which constitutes prima facie evidence of compliance. A printed copy of the publication must be attached to the affidavit. If the place of residence of the person to be served is unknown and no mail has been sent for this reason, this must be indicated in the affidavit. Once service is complete and proof of service submitted to the court, the plaintiff waits and counts the days. If the other party has breached its obligations by not responding to the request within 20 days of service (30 days if served outside the state), the plaintiff may apply to the court for a default judgment. The entire Arizona Process Service can be deployed anywhere within the state`s territorial boundaries. The summons and the pleadings served must be served together. If a defendant refuses to accept a summons, he or she does not waive the right to challenge the jurisdiction of the court over the defendant.
When filing a declaration with the registry of the district court where the case is pending, the person who effected the service must confirm the date and method of service and the names of the persons served. Within fourteen days after service, the summoned person requested to produce and authorize the inspection and the copy may serve a written objection to the inspection or to the copy of one or all of the documents or premises designated on the party named in the summons or on the attorney named in the summons, provided that such period is less than fourteen days after service. The documents cited may be consulted and copied by the party who served them only in accordance with the order of the court made when the summons was issued. If the person to be served is a person whose domicile is unknown to the person seeking service, but whose last known place of residence was in the State or whose service by service has been avoided, and service is the most practical means of service of the application in the circumstances, Service may be effected by service in accordance with the requirements of this Subsection. Such service shall be effected by the publication of the summons and a statement of the manner in which a copy of the pleadings may be served, at least once a week for four consecutive weeks, (1) in a newspaper published in the county where the application is pending, and (2) in a newspaper published in the district, in which is the last known place of residence of the person to be served, other than the district in which the action is pending. If no newspaper is published in such a county, the required publications shall be published in a newspaper published in an adjacent county. Delivery must be made thirty days after the first publication. If the domicile of the person to be served is known, the party served or the duty agent must, not later than the date of first publication, send the summons and a copy of the procedural documents served on him at that person`s domicile, stamped. Service by publication and its return may be effected by the service provider or lawyer of that party in the same way as if it had been effected by an official. The party or official effecting service shall submit an affidavit setting out the manner and date of publication and dispatch and the circumstances justifying the application of the procedure authorized by this Sub-Section, which constitutes prima facie evidence of compliance with this Agreement. A printed copy of the publication must be attached to the affidavit.
If the domicile of the party served is unknown and no delivery has been made for this reason, this must be indicated in the affidavit. Sources 1. Ariz. R. Civ. P. 4(d): Ariz.

This includes records relating to discovery hearings, motions and communications, appearances, claims, offer of judgment, citation of notes of appeal and other written communications, appearances, applications and motions for judgment.10 By default, Rule 6(e) of these Rules applies to films delivered by mail, unless the method of delivery is expressly stated in the film submission form.

The court may protect a person against whom or affected by the summons is subject, revoke or vary the summons, or if the party on whose behalf the summons is issued demonstrates a substantial need for testimony or material that cannot otherwise be executed without undue hardship, and certifies that the person to whom the summons is addressed is adequately compensated, The court may order the appearance or presentation only under certain conditions.
