- 1). Locate the witness's home address.
- 2). Knock on the front door or ring the doorbell. Wait for someone to answer the door.
- 3). Ask for the name of the person who opens the door. If it is your witness, her spouse or someone who looks to be at least 16 years old, hand them the subpoena. If your case requires it, give him the witness fee and mileage reimbursement, too.
- 4). Tell him "You've been served." If he's cooperative and it's applicable, have him sign and date your service delivery form. If he's not cooperative, fill out the form yourself, if applicable.
- 5). Leave the property immediately. There's no reason to engage the witness in a conversation or force your authority on him.
