§ 26609 Sheriff Process Certification

• •The sheriff must confirm how and when they delivered legal papers.
• •If the sheriff can't deliver the papers, they must explain why.
• •The sheriff has to send the papers back right away after trying to deliver them.

You get sued, and the sheriff tries to give you the court papers.

The sheriff has to write down if they gave you the papers or why they couldn’t (like if you moved away). Then they send the papers back to the court quickly.
