📢 Public Notice – Process Serving Updates (Ohio Focus)

Published by Custom Design Couriers, LLC

At Custom Design Couriers, LLC, we believe that staying informed is key to fairness and justice. Each week, important updates emerge that affect how legal documents are served and how the public can protect their rights. This Public Notice is designed to keep Ohio residents, businesses, and legal professionals aware of the latest developments in process serving—presented clearly and accessibly.

1. Service Must Reach You Directly
The Ohio Supreme Court recently reminded everyone: if papers are delivered to an old address, service is not valid. If you’ve moved, update your address with the courts and any ongoing cases to avoid missed notices.

2. Watch for Process Server Scams
Scammers are calling and texting, pretending to be process servers and demanding money to “avoid being served.” Real process servers never ask for payment or bank info by phone. Hang up and confirm directly with the court or attorney.

3. Privacy Rules Under Review
Courts are reviewing how much personal information can be hidden when serving documents. Changes could affect skip-tracing and redacted records access.

4. Subpoena Rule Changes Coming
Federal courts are considering updates to the rules on subpoenas (Rule 45). Businesses and individuals who receive subpoenas may see new service procedures in the future.

5. Security Around Courts
With threats to judges on the rise, expect tighter courthouse security and stricter limits on serving papers near judicial residences.
