How do I serve the other party with notice of my small claims court case?

In order to serve the other party with notice of your small claims court case in California, you must follow certain steps. First, you must fill out the “Notice and Acknowledgment of Receipt” form which can be obtained on the court’s website or at your local courthouse. After completing the form, you must deliver it to the other party by either having someone else serve it to them or sending it to them through registered mail. If you choose to have someone else serve them, the other party must be given the form in person. It cannot be left with someone else such as a family member or neighbor. The person serving the notice must then fill out the “Proof of Service of Summons” form. This form must be filed with the small claims court to prove that the other party was served with the notice. If you choose to send the form through registered mail, you must also obtain a “Proof of Service by Mail” form from the court. Once the form is sent, the person who sent it must complete the “Proof of Service by Mail” form and file it with the court. In both cases, the other party must sign the “Notice and Acknowledgment of Receipt” form to acknowledge they have received notice of the small claims court case. It is important to remember that the other party must be served with the Notice and Acknowledgment of Receipt form and sign it before your small claims court case can move forward.
