In addition, the court summons can be served in the following ways:
1, direct service, also known as service, refers to the way that the people's court sends a special person to directly serve the litigation documents to the addressee for signature.
2. Service by lien means that the addressee refuses to serve the litigation documents unreasonably, and the addressee shall place the litigation documents at the addressee's residence and have the legal effect of service.
3. Entrusted service means that when the people's court in charge of hearing civil cases has difficulty in directly serving litigation documents, it entrusts other people's courts to serve them on its behalf according to law. Entrusted service and direct service have the same legal effect.
4. Delivery by post means that the people's court sends the documents served to the addressee by registered mail through the post office. Practice shows that court mail service is usually a way of service when the addressee's residence is far from the court and it is difficult to deliver it directly.
5. Service refers to the way that the people's court sends the litigation documents to the unit where the addressee works for collection, and then forwards them to the addressee.
6. Delivery of notice. You can post an announcement on the bulletin board of the court, the original residence of the addressee, or publish an announcement in a newspaper. The announcement can only be used when the whereabouts of the addressee are unknown or cannot be served by other means.
The legal effect of announcement service is the same as other service methods.
Legal basis: Article 84 of the Civil Procedure Law requires a receipt for the service of litigation documents, and the addressee shall record the date of receipt on the receipt and sign or seal it. The date of receipt by the addressee on the service receipt shall be the date of service.
