Serve legal documents anywhere in Maryland with confidence. Served 123 LLC coordinates sheriffs and qualified private process servers across all 23 Maryland counties plus Baltimore City — from the DC suburbs of Montgomery and Prince George's through Baltimore and the Eastern Shore to the western panhandle — delivering same-day service, restricted-delivery certified mail, and returns that hold up in any Maryland Circuit or District Court.
Under Md. Rule 2-123, service of process in Maryland Circuit Court may be made by a sheriff, a competent private person 18 years of age or older who is not a party and is not an employee or agent of a party, or by certified mail requesting "Restricted Delivery — show to addressee only" under Rule 2-121(a)(3). Maryland District Court parallels this under Rule 3-121 et seq. The "agent or employee of a party" exclusion is more restrictive than most states' "disinterested person" standard — Maryland is particular here.
Personal service is the default under Md. Rule 2-121(a)(1). Substituted service under Rule 2-121(a)(2) allows leaving copies at the individual's dwelling house or usual place of abode with a resident of suitable age and discretion. Restricted-delivery certified mail under Rule 2-121(a)(3) is a primary method, with the signed green card filed as proof. Service on entities is governed by Rule 2-124, and service by publication by Rule 2-122, which requires a court order after a diligent-search showing.
Baltimore City is an independent city — not part of any county — with its own circuit court, sheriff's office, and process-service protocols. Service in "Baltimore County" (which surrounds but does not include the city) is a different jurisdiction entirely. We route based on the actual address: a Towson address is Baltimore County; a Fells Point address is Baltimore City. Getting this right matters for filing and proof.
