Arizona Process Server Practice Exam 2025 - Free Process Server Practice Questions and Study Guide

Question: 1 / 400

What occurs when a defendant refuses to accept service?

The process server cannot complete the service

The process server may still complete the service using legal methods

When a defendant refuses to accept service, the process server is still able to complete the service using legal methods. In Arizona, as in many other jurisdictions, service of process does not rely solely on the defendant's willingness to accept the documents. If the defendant does not accept the service voluntarily, the process server can employ alternative methods permitted by law, such as leaving the documents at the defendant's residence with a competent person of suitable age, or mailing them directly to the defendant. Additionally, some methods of service may involve obtaining a court order or using a specific process, such as constructive service, that allows service to be executed even if the defendant is evasive. This flexibility ensures that the legal proceedings can move forward, regardless of the defendant's actions regarding accepting the service.
