Court documents that do not qualify for direct service by the Sheriff’s Office include Small Claims, Notices, Summons, Complaints, Petitions, Declarations, Civil Subpoenas, Orders to Show Cause etc.

The Sheriff's Office will only accept service for prohibited documents under the following circumstances:

• The documents are for a person currently booked into the Grays Harbor County Jail.
• The documents are from out of state and that state requires service by law enforcement.

For Court document service not provided by the Sheriff’s office, you may seek service through private process servers or anyone over the age of 18 not party to the action.
