Order to Serve Summons by Posting

Imperial Superior Court · Court Local Forms

Verified current as of July 25, 2026

This form is used when someone needs to notify a defendant in a court case by posting the legal documents on a physical location (like a property or bulletin board) instead of delivering them in person, usually because the defendant's whereabouts are unknown or cannot be found. A person filing a lawsuit in Imperial County Superior Court would use this form when they cannot locate the defendant through normal service methods and need the judge's permission to serve them this alternative way.
