Process Servers

Education and Training Requirements

High School

If process serving sounds interesting to you, get a head start now and take courses in English, political science, communication, and any law or business-related courses. Training in a foreign language can also be extremely helpful because process servers may encounter non-English speakers.

Postsecondary Training

Although college is not required, advanced courses in psychology, communication, and business would be of great benefit to a potential process server. You won't find many, if any, college or university majors called process serving. However, any college-level work in legal studies will prepare you for work in this field. The Process Server Institute holds training seminars that focus directly on process serving. This type of specific training will help a new process server more than the general legal studies approach.
