43rd Annual Conference   April 24-26, 2025

Heads up!

For decades, the post mark – an official mark that shows where and when mail was accepted by the Postal Service – has been used in law as proof that an individual met a deadline, such as submitting a ballot by Election Day.

A USPS postmark used to indicate the date when mail was dropped in a mailbox or submitted at the post office counter. Now, USPS is clarifying in a new rule that the postmark will reflect the date an envelope is first processed by an automated USPS sorting machine, potentially days after it was dropped off – not the actual drop-off date.

In today's news, ABC Legal and CT Corporation System are attempting to bypass process service rules and statutes by doing electronic service.
HEADS UP: this is NOT good service in Oregon, unless the defendant expressly waives their right to in-person/personal service.
This is also one of MANY reasons I try to tell folks that ABC is NOT your friend. Especially if you are a process server. They typically pay their servers the equivalent of an Uber Eats fee to serve and require 4-6 attempts for the puny amount they people.
If you want your service done by a PROFESSIONAL, do not engage ABC. (see link in the comments)
