Process-server appointment for your Union County case
For Union County cases, we use case-specific process-server appointment paperwork. Complete a motion and proposed order naming the individual process server, with the court caption and case number.
Union County General and Domestic Relations does not accept standing process-server applications. The clerk requires a motion and current notarized affidavits when an attorney requests service. Juvenile Court also appoints process servers case by case.

Common questions
How much does a Union County process server cost?
Routine service is $89 per person, per address and per case. Additional services may cost extra. See our Terms of Service for service levels and fees; an assignment-specific written quote controls when different.
How quickly can you make the first attempt?
Routine first attempts are generally made within 24 to 72 hours after activation, once all required documents, instructions and any required cleared prepayment are in place. For rush or same-day service, call or text 740-936-7625 after submitting your request to confirm availability. Successful service is not guaranteed.
Does the court appoint RVB Services or an individual?
The appointment identifies the individual server. Use the proposed server’s full legal name, not only the company name. Ohio Civil Rule 4.1 sets the qualifications for the person designated.
Can service begin with only a proposed order?
A proposed order is not approval. When appointment is required, the court must enter its order before service proceeds under that appointment.
Is the appointment affidavit the same as proof of service?
No. The appointment affidavit supports the request to appoint the server. A return or affidavit of service documents what happened when service was attempted or completed.
Can I serve the summons and complaint myself?
A party to the case cannot act as the court-designated server for personal or residence service under Ohio Civil Rule 4.1. Have the clerk issue the papers through an authorized service method and make sure any required appointment is entered before a private server proceeds.
Will a standing appointment from another Ohio court cover this case?
Do not assume it will. The appointment must cover the court, division and service involved. For the Union County assignments described above, follow the case-specific appointment process and send us the entered order. An appointment in a neighboring county does not replace the order required for your case.
Which clerk should I contact for forms, court fees and service instructions?
Use the court and division named on your case. The Union County Clerk of Courts handles Common Pleas records, while Marysville Municipal Court has its own clerk. For Probate or Juvenile matters, use that division’s resources below. Ask the correct clerk for current forms, fees and filing instructions.
What should I do if certified mail is returned or service is unsuccessful?
Review the failure notice or return and confirm the recipient’s address. Marysville Municipal Court’s small-claims guidance explains that returned certified mail leads to a failure-of-service notice so you can provide new instructions. Follow the procedure for your own court and case. Ask your attorney about the next service method, and tell RVB about earlier attempts when requesting an assignment.
