Some states require process servers to be formally appointed by the court before service can begin. At Proof, we handle the workflow and compliance checks surrounding these Motion & Order (M&O) requirements to keep your cases moving efficiently.
Florida: Every service requires a Motion & Order appointment unless the server is already on the county’s approved list. We gather server details, confirm appointments, and place jobs on hold until approval is received.
Georgia: Motion & Order is only required in select counties. Our team checks local rules, confirms whether the assigned server is appointed, and ensures compliance before service proceeds.
Missouri: If an appointment is requested, we flag the job, provide server information, and hold the job until the court approves. If no appointment is needed, we verify against any client-provided server lists and clear the task to avoid unnecessary delays.
⚖️ Important: While Proof manages the process of collecting server details, flagging jobs, and coordinating with servers, clients are responsible for filing the Motion & Order with the court and returning the signed order to Proof. Service cannot proceed until the signed order is on file.
✅ What this means for you: No matter the state, you can rely on Proof to manage every step we control—ensuring compliance, preventing delays, and keeping your cases on track—while you retain responsibility for filing and providing the signed order.
