At Proof, we take extra care to ensure compliance with Missouri’s Motion & Order (M&O) requirements. These rules govern whether a process server must be formally appointed by the court before service can begin. Below is an overview of how our team handles M/O flagged jobs, so you know exactly what to expect.
When a Job Is Flagged with a Motion & Order Task
Client Request for Server Appointment
If you’ve asked us to provide the server’s information so the court can appoint them, we will:
Collect the necessary details from the server.
Flag the job with an M&O flag.
Notify the server:
“This job is on hold until you are appointed. Please acknowledge.”
Service will not begin until the appointment is confirmed.
No Appointment Request from Client
If your instructions don’t ask for server information, our team will:
Review the job documents to see if you’ve already provided a list of court-appointed servers.
Confirm that the server who claimed the job is on the approved list.
If the server is not on the list and no appointment request is required, the task will be cleared so your case can proceed without delay.
What This Means for You
Clear Communication: You’ll always know whether a job is on hold for court appointment or cleared to move forward.
Compliance Guaranteed: We ensure only approved servers are handling service in Missouri, protecting your case from rejection or delays.
Efficiency First: If no appointment is needed and no server list is provided, we take the initiative to clear the task and keep your case moving.
