Affidavit Of Service {CF31A}

CF31A - AFFIDAVIT OF SERVICE. This form is used in civil cases filed in the Justice of the Peace Court of the State of Delaware when a plaintiff is serving legal documents—specifically a summons and complaint—on a defendant who is a non-resident of Delaware. The form documents the steps the plaintiff (or their authorized representative) has taken to serve the defendant by mail at their out-of-state address. It requires the plaintiff to affirm that they mailed the necessary court documents using certified or registered mail and to indicate the result of that mailing, such as whether it was received, refused, unclaimed, or not served. If the initial mailing is returned as unclaimed, the form also includes a section to confirm that a second mailing was sent via first-class mail along with a certificate of mailing. This affidavit must be signed under oath and notarized or affirmed before a court official to verify that proper service procedures were followed in compliance with Delaware court rules. www.FormsWorkflow.com
