About Civil Constable

An eligibility-first approach

Civil process can involve different court rules, statutes, appointment limits, delivery methods and return requirements. A document that can be accepted in one location may require additional authority in another.

That is why every Civil Constable assignment begins with a review. The review protects requesters from assuming an assignment has been accepted before its document, location and timing have been examined. It also lets us identify missing documents, conflicting dates, special court orders, witness-fee requirements and other issues before work begins.

A Massachusetts constable

Civil Constable is a Massachusetts civil process and constable services business, and its principal holds a Massachusetts constable appointment. Under Massachusetts law, constables are appointed by a city or town, and their statutory authority to serve civil process applies within the appointing municipality, subject to limits that depend on the constable’s bond (G.L. c. 41, §§ 91A and 92). Every assignment is reviewed against the authority that applies to it — the appointment, a court order appointing a special process server, or a rule that permits service by others.

What we are — and aren’t

Civil Constable provides civil process service and documented delivery of legal documents. It is not a law firm, a court, a sheriff’s department or a government agency. We don’t select legal forms, calculate legal deadlines, or decide whether a document is legally sufficient. Our review is operational screening, not legal advice.

• Every request receives a reference number and a written confirmation.
