1. Oklahoma Process Servers Should Have Formal Training Courses to Help Them Succeed
For the sake of professionalism and the quality of work, Oklahoma process servers should have
to take some kind of training class. Right now all a process server in Oklahoma to do is to go
down to the courthouse with two passport photos, get a small process server bond, swear he or
she is of sound moral character, be at least eighteen years of age, and make sure there are no
felonies on his or her record. Quite frankly, that is far too easy, and it entices many people into
the profession who have no clue about what it means to be a process server.
There are so many rules under both the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Oklahoma
Rules of Civil Procedure that process servers have to follow. These laws not only benefit them,
but they also help the clients they work for. For example, a well-trained process server should
know how many attempts on service he or she should make, as well as the different types of
allowable service (i.e., personal, substitute, posting, etc.). Knowing the laws can also help
process servers in other ways, too.
If process servers do not know what their rights are and what they can do, businesses,
individuals, and the federal government might try to exploit a process server’s lack of
knowledge. For example, some federal penitentiaries like the one in El Reno, Oklahoma refuse
to allow process servers to serve process on inmates. They will only let a sheriff’s deputies
provide the service, and they claim to allow it by mail. However, an Oklahoma process server
has the same right as a sheriff’s deputies to serve process. If a process server in Oklahoma does
not know that the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure specifically allow them make this type of
serve, then they may think they cannot do it when they really can. This is just one of many
examples where the laws can aid in the service of process. Of course, laws are not the only
things process servers need to know.
An excellent process server will also provide creative methods of service and will know how to
find and seek out someone who is hiding. How does someone serve an individual who is in
hiding and does not wish to be found? These are areas in which process servers should receive
continual training, and yet where is the school or training to learn this? It is true that some who
enter the field of process serving may have a military and/or law enforcement background, and
others will have a very natural creative ability. However, how many humans enter the field of
process serving without any such experience or knowledge of creative methods? The number is
probably higher than most people think.
Many process servers pay a large sum for their license and get their bond thinking that people
will just automatically contact them. However, professional process servers who have served in
the field for any given period of time know otherwise. To stay in the field, one must know how
to form, market, and run a business and seek out and keep clients. Unfortunately, most new
process servers find themselves lacking this vital knowledge, and thus their licenses often sit
there largely unused.
These are some of the numerous reasons why process servers in Oklahoma should have to have
some type of course or training like they do in Texas and in various other states. This type of
training will not only help process servers become more effective as professionals, but it

2. mightalso help raise the amount of money they can charge for their services. Until then, the field
of process servers will remain saturated with an endless supply of individuals who very well may
not know what they are doing.
