Serving in West Virginia
Service rules in West Virginia
In small claims cases (Magistrate Court (civil)), the official pages describe service like this: “Certified mail or first-class mail sent by the magistrate clerk, the sheriff, or a private process server or other adult who isn't a party.” Rules differ for other case types.
Rules on who may serve, and whether a license or registration is needed, vary by state and sometimes by county or city. You must meet the state's rules for every serve you take, and the application asks about it.
