Connecticut service rules — what to know

Service of process in Connecticut is governed by the Connecticut Rules of Civil Procedure and, for cases filed in federal court, Rule 4 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Depending on the county and case type, Connecticut may require service by a sheriff or constable, a licensed or certified private process server, or another court-authorized adult who is not a party to the case. We assign the appropriate server for your matter.

Substituted service — leaving papers with a suitable person at the defendant's home or usual place of business — is permitted in many Connecticut case types, typically after documented diligent attempts at personal delivery. If a defendant cannot be located, our skip tracing team researches lawful address leads first, and we can provide an affidavit of due diligence to support a motion for alternative service.

Rush service is available statewide for $225, and same-day service is available in many Connecticut jurisdictions. Call (800) 594-4730 with the service address, deadline, and documents so availability can be confirmed immediately.
