Baton Rouge Process Servers are court appointed process servers certified to personally deliver legal documents in Louisiana.

Process servers were intended as a messenger system to notify individuals of their constitutional right to due process of law by “serving” them with a notification that states the legal issue that specifically involves them. Originally, legal papers were typically served to individuals by their local county sheriff.
