District Court
Step 4 - Serve Your Claim Notice
Once you have submitted the Claim Notice, and it has been issued by the court office, you must then send a copy of the Claim Notice to the respondent. This is called serving the claim.
For more information on serving and proof of service, please see our Serving and Proof of Service page.
Note: It is very important that you keep the original document as you will need it later in the process if you proceed with the claim.
After serving the document(s), the person who served them must sign the original document(s) within 3 days and include the time, date, method, and place of service. This is called endorsing.
