AFFIDAVIT OF SERVICE

Party Role
[PLAINTIFF / PETITIONER], Plaintiff / Petitioner
v.
[DEFENDANT / RESPONDENT], Defendant / Respondent

Court: [DISTRICT / CIRCUIT / OTHER] Court, [COUNTY] County, Wyoming

Case Number: [CASE NUMBER]

1. Affiant

I, [SERVER'S FULL LEGAL NAME], after being duly sworn, state:

  1. I am at least 18 years old.
  2. I am not a party to this action.
  3. My business or mailing address is [ADDRESS].
  4. My telephone number or email for a court inquiry is [CONTACT].

Wyo. R. Civ. P. 4(c)(1) permits service, unless the court orders otherwise, by a person who is at least 18 years old and is not a party.

2. Documents Delivered

I received the following documents for service:

☐ Summons

☐ Complaint or petition

☐ Court order: [IDENTIFY]

☐ Other: [IDENTIFY EACH DOCUMENT]

For personal service under Rule 4(d), the summons and complaint are served together.

3. Service Event

Field Entry
Date [DATE]
Time and time zone [TIME / TIME ZONE]
Street address or precise location [LOCATION]
Person who received the documents [FULL NAME]
Capacity in which served [INDIVIDUAL / HOUSEHOLD RESIDENT / EMPLOYEE IN CHARGE / AGENT / OFFICER / OTHER]
Documents delivered [LIST]

4. Manner of Personal Service

Select one and complete the facts. Do not select a method merely because it appears on this form; the named defendant and governing law determine the proper recipient.

A. Individual Within the United States — Rule 4(e)

☐ I delivered the summons and complaint to the named individual personally.

☐ I left the summons and complaint at the individual's dwelling house or usual place of abode with [NAME], who was over age 14 and then resided there.

☐ I left the summons and complaint at the individual's usual place of business with [NAME], an employee of the defendant then in charge of that place of business.

☐ I delivered the summons and complaint to [NAME], an agent authorized by appointment or law to receive service for the individual.

B. Partnership or Other Unincorporated Association — Rule 4(h)(1)

☐ I delivered the summons and complaint to [NAME], who was a partner, associate, managing or general agent, or agent for process.

☐ I left the summons and complaint at the defendant's usual place of business with [NAME], an employee then in charge.

C. Corporation — Rule 4(h)(2)

☐ I delivered the summons and complaint to [NAME], who was an officer, manager, general agent, or agent for process.

☐ No officer, manager, general agent, or agent for process could be found in the county where the action was brought. I delivered the summons and complaint to [NAME], an agent or employee found in that county. The serving party must determine whether Rule 4(h)(2)(C)'s clerk-mailing requirement applies before seeking default.

D. State Department or Agency, Municipality, or Other Public Corporation — Rule 4(i)

☐ I delivered the summons and complaint to [NAME], whose position was [CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER / SECRETARY / CLERK / PERSON IN CHARGE OF PRINCIPAL OFFICE OR PLACE OF BUSINESS / GOVERNING-BODY MEMBER / STATUTORILY DESIGNATED RECIPIENT].

E. Court-Ordered or Statutory Recipient

☐ I delivered the documents to [NAME AND CAPACITY] exactly as required by [IDENTIFY STATUTE OR ATTACHED COURT ORDER].

5. Additional Identifying Facts

I identified the person or capacity served from the following non-sensitive facts:

[STATE WHAT THE PERSON SAID, WHAT SIGN OR OFFICE WAS OBSERVED, WHO IDENTIFIED THE PERSON, OR OTHER FACTS. DO NOT INCLUDE UNNECESSARY IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS.]

6. Proof and Filing Controls

Rule 4(s)(1) requires prompt proof to the court within the time during which the person served must respond. For service by a person other than a sheriff, undersheriff, or deputy, Rule 4(s)(2)(B) calls for the server's affidavit stating the date, place, and manner of service.

☐ A separate court order governing service is attached.

☐ Additional page describing the date, place, or manner of service is attached.

☐ This affidavit will be filed promptly by [RESPONSIBLE PERSON].

The serving party should separately calendar Rule 4(w). Unless Rule 4(w)'s foreign-country exception or a court order applies, an unserved defendant is subject to dismissal without prejudice or a specified-time service order after 90 days; good cause requires an appropriate extension.

7. Affidavit

I swear that the facts stated in this affidavit are true and correct based on my personal knowledge.

Legal authority

  • Wyo. R. Civ. P. 4(c)-(e), (h)-(i), (s), and (w)

These are the filings that drive a lawsuit through the system: complaints, answers, motions, briefs, discovery requests and responses, and post-judgment papers. Each has its own format requirements under federal and state procedural rules, and each has a deadline that cannot be missed without consequences. Clean, procedurally correct filings move a case forward; sloppy ones invite motions to strike, amended responses, and avoidable delays.
