Why It Matters How Papers Are Served

Iowa law has strict rules about:

• Who can serve
• How service is completed
• What proof is required

If you don’t follow these rules, your case can be delayed or dismissed.

That’s why we use:

• Bodycam footage
• Time-stamped GPS logs
• Professional return of service affidavits

We don’t just drop papers — we track, document, and stand by every service we perform.
