There are two ways to serve documents in a Provincial Court family case:
- Personal service: someone must physically hand the document to the person who needs to receive it. You can't do this yourself — you must have another adult serve it for you.
- Delivery: the document can be dropped off, mailed, faxed, or emailed to the other person's address for service.
Some documents must be served by personal service.
