Why the Bond?
The deliberate failure by some process servers to deliver the notification of a court filing followed by a false affidavit of successful delivery has been described “as a rising problem” in New York City and was outlined in our article “Fraudulent Service of Process Continues to Plague New York” published in October 2009. In response, the New York City Council has passed legislation with new, stringent regulations for service of process in their effort to directly protect consumers from improper delivery of court filing notifications, known as’ ‘Sewer Service’.
The newly passed bill requires all process servers serving process in New York City adhere to the following:
-
Obtain a license from the Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA) and pass an examination on the New York Rules of Civil Procedure
-
Log all service attempts when serving papers with an electronic system (such as a GPS system)
-
maintain records and electronic service logs for a period of seven years;
Independent process servers must obtain a $10,000 surety bond -
Process serving companies must obtain a $100,000 surety bond with the city to guarantee compliance with the regulations
-
Provide a statement of employee rights and employer responsibilities to every process server under their employ
-
Maintain signed documents that employees understand these rights and responsibilities.
