Serve legal documents anywhere in Georgia with confidence. Served 123 LLC coordinates sheriffs, marshals, and court-appointed private process servers across all 159 Georgia counties — the most of any state east of the Mississippi — delivering same-day service in Metro Atlanta and statewide GPS-tracked attempts that hold up in any Georgia superior, state, or magistrate court.
Under OCGA §9-11-4(c), service of process in Georgia may be made by (a) the sheriff of the county where service is effected, (b) a sheriff's deputy, (c) a marshal or constable of the court issuing the process, or (d) any citizen of the United States specially appointed by the court for that purpose. Georgia also recognizes permanent process servers approved by the court under OCGA §9-11-4.1 — who may then serve process in that court's cases without per-case appointment. Served 123 LLC coordinates with sheriffs, marshals, and permanent process servers across every Georgia county.
Personal service is the default. Under OCGA §9-11-4(e)(7), if personal service cannot be made, substituted service may be effected by leaving copies at the defendant's dwelling house or usual place of abode with some person of suitable age and discretion then residing therein. Entity service is governed by §9-11-4(e)(1)–(6), which includes service on registered agents, officers, and managing agents. Service by publication under §9-11-4(f) requires a court order after diligent-search showing. The return of service is governed by §9-11-4(h).
Georgia is highly forgiving on who can serve — but strict on the return of service. Judges regularly quash service where substituted service was effected on a minor or on a non-resident, or where the return fails to specify the identity and relationship of the recipient. Metro Atlanta (Fulton, DeKalb, Cobb, Gwinnett, Clayton) is also unique in that multiple courts operate in overlapping jurisdictions — state, superior, and magistrate — and the proper server authority varies. Served 123 LLC matches the server to the court.
