PREFACE: HOW TO USE THIS HANDBOOK New York process serving is not one statewide checklist. The governing method depends on the paper, recipient, court, location, and any signed order. New York City adds licensing, electronic-device, record-production, agency, and audit rules that do not automatically apply to every service elsewhere in the state. This handbook therefore uses a scope-first method: identify the controlling source, execute only the authorized steps, and preserve evidence that permits later review. Read Parts One through Four before accepting specialized assignments. Use Part Five to construct records and proofs from contemporaneous facts. Part Six applies only to the New York City licensing and electronic-record regime unless a contract makes a City control relevant elsewhere. Part Seven prepares records for a traverse without coaching testimony. Part Eight addresses safety, privacy, complaints, and agency governance.
