Legal Answers
Q. Good afternoon, my inquiry reference a CALIFORNIA civil court case, what proof of service form is required?
A: For a Summons & Complaint, the Judicial Council Form POS-010 is required, which can be found here: https://dev.greenfiling.com/cadoc/data/CA-forms-unlocked/pos010.pdf

Note, that if an entity was served via substituted service, the process server must almost complete a Declaration of Due Diligence. If you are a party to the lawsuit, e.g., the Plaintiff, you cannot serve the Summons & Complaint; you must have someone else do it.

For discovery, other pleadings and motions, you can use this Proof Service instead: https://www.courts.ca.gov/documents/pos040.pdf
