As a Notary Public, can I act as a process server? — E.S., CA
If you are asking whether a Notary commission authorizes you to be a process servicer, the answer is no. If you want to know if you can be a Notary and a process server at the same time, the answer is yes, provided you complete the process server registration process in your county. See the county clerk/recorder’s office in your county for more information.
