Serve legal documents anywhere in Michigan with confidence. Served 123 LLC coordinates sheriffs, court officers, and qualified private process servers across all 83 Michigan counties — both peninsulas — from Detroit and the tri-county metro through Grand Rapids, Lansing, and Ann Arbor, across to Kalamazoo and up through the Upper Peninsula — delivering same-day service, certified-mail service, and returns that hold up in any Michigan Circuit or District Court.
Under MCR 2.103, service of process in Michigan may be made by the sheriff or sheriff's deputy, a court officer appointed for that purpose, or any other legally competent adult who is not a party. Michigan also permits service by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, under MCR 2.105(A)(2) — making Michigan one of several states where mail service is a primary option, not a fallback. Served 123 LLC coordinates sheriffs, court officers, and qualified private servers plus manages certified-mail service for cooperative defendants.
Personal service under MCR 2.105(A)(1) is the most common default. If personal service and mail service both fail, MCR 2.105(I) authorizes the court to order alternate service — including tacking (affixing to a prominent location at the residence), posting, publication, or sending by mail to last known address. Michigan's MCR 2.105(I) alternate-service motion is commonly used for evasive defendants. Entity service is under MCR 2.105(D)–(H). Long-arm jurisdiction uses MCL §§600.701–600.785.
Michigan has two peninsulas and some of the longest travel distances in the Midwest. A process server in Metro Detroit can't realistically serve Marquette in the UP without route planning and cost. Served 123 LLC routes regionally — Metro Detroit, West Michigan, Mid-Michigan, Northern Lower Peninsula, and Upper Peninsula all get servers who live in-region.
