Service Tracker: Attempts Log and Proof-of-Service Checklist

What this is: a tracker for step 7 of the roadmap: a log of every attempt to serve the other side, plus a checklist to catch mistakes on the proof of service before you file it.

How to use it: start a new row for every attempt, even failed ones. Write the serve-by date from your court notice at the top. Who may serve and the deadline depend on your court; see how to serve the papers and check your court's rules.

This information is for educational purposes only. It is not legal advice. Rules, deadlines, fees and forms vary by state and court. Check your court's rules or self-help center before you act.
